From Israel National News:
Police on Tuesday night arrested Yosef Spinoza, a neighbor and acquaintance of Yaakov Teitel, who was arrested Sunday on charges of having conducted a decade-long terror campaign against Arabs and leftists. Like Teitel, Spinoza is a resident of Shvut Rachel. Police did not say what connection, if any, Spinoza had with the case against Teitel, or whether he participated in any of the attacks Teitel is suspected of carrying out.
From Haaretz:
Israeli security forces on Tuesday arrested a man suspected of serving as an accomplice to alleged Jewish terrorist Yaakov (Jack) Teitel.
The newest suspect, Yosef Aspinoza, is a close friend of Teitel’s and his neighbor in the West Bank settlement outpost Shvut Rachel. Police detained Aspinoza for questioning about two weeks ago, but released him after a few hours.
Security forces investigating the allegations against Teitel believe he may have committed a number of murders in addition to those he admitted in his interrogation.
Teitel, 36 allegedly planted several explosives and murdered two Palestinians. He was arrested three weeks ago and has confessed to a majority of the allegations against him.
The Shin Bet security service is now trying to prove he was behind other unsolved murder cases in Jerusalem and the West Bank, although he has denied them.
The Shin Bet and police are also trying to link Teitel to the terror attack on the Tel Aviv gay center Bar Noar, although his alibi for that night was checked and found solid. Security forces suspect he is covering for another person whom he sent to carry out the attack.
Investigators believe Teitel, whose command of Hebrew is limited, had an accomplice who helped him write hate notices in Hebrew, without knowing of Teitel’s widespread terrorist activity.
From YNet News:
A neighbor of “Jewish terrorist” Yaakov (Jack) Teitel was arrested Tuesday evening at the Shvut Rachel settlement in the Binyamin region. Investigators of the Judea and Samaria District’s central unit took the man to a Shin Bet facility in Petah Tikva. He is suspected of having known about some of Teitel’s actions.
According to local residents, four policemen arrived at the community and detained 47-year-old Yosef Spinoza, a father of two, for questioning. Spinoza was also detained for questioning about two weeks ago, but was released several hours later.
The residents said Spinoza suffered from a chronic illness and had been treated by Teitel in the past.
Attorney Adi Keidar of the Honenu organization said that the police were preventing Spinoza from meeting with a lawyer.
Teitel underwent a psychiatric evaluation at the Geha Psychiatric Hospital in Petah Tikva and was found to be fit to stand trial. According to Attorney Keidar, who represents Teitel as well, the examination was thorough and lasted only 15 minutes.
According to the lawyer, Teitel was asked to state his name and the place he lives in, but was not asked about the acts he is suspected of committing. Keidar plans to demand from the court to order another psychiatric evaluation by an expert appointed by the suspect.
On Sunday it was cleared for publication that Teitel, 35, had been arrested for allegedly carrying out a series of domestic acts of terror over the past few years.
