The 17-year-old grandson of murdered American Jewish extremist Meir Kahane was arrested for torching a West Bank mosque. Both the grandson’s grandfather and parents were murdered by Arab militants in separate incidents.
The mosque was located in the village of Yasuf.
Jack Teitel told reporters at a Jerusalem court on Thursday that he had no regrets for shooting the pair and trying to kill the others with explosives and poison, and that God would approve of his actions.
“It has been a pleasure and an honor to have served my God,” Teitel, an ultra-Orthodox Jew originally from Florida in the US, said.
Teitel has a total of 14 charges against him including two for murder and three for attempted murder.
