...terror attacks over more than a decade against Arab, gay and leftist targets. Israeli police describe Yaakov (Jack) Teitel as a Jewish extremist and say he is responsible for the murder of two Palestinians in 1997 and a pair of bombings that left a professor and a 15-year-old boy wounded, among other crimes. Teitel's Oct. 7 arrest was made public on Nov. 1; police say they found a weapons laboratory at his West Bank home and a weapons cache nearby.
