A Jordanian national was arrested for explosives threats and an attack on a Florida energy facility allegedly motivated by the U.S. government's support of the state of Israel. 

Hashem Younis Hashem Hnaihen, 43, of Orlando, was indicted on Thursday with four counts of threatening to use explosives and one count of destruction of an energy facility. 

Prosecutors say that beginning around June, Hnaihen targeted and attacked businesses in the Orlando area "for their perceived support for the State of Israel." 

Wearing a mask, and under the cover of night, Hnaihen allegedly smashed the glass front doors of businesses and left behind "Warning Letters," according to court documents. 

The letters, which were addressed to the United States government, laid out a series of political demands, culminating in a threat to "destroy or explode everything here in whole America. Especially the companies and factories that support the racist state of Israel," according to the indictment.

Prosecutors say Hnaihen’s attacks later escalated. As law enforcement worked to identify the masked attacker, Hnaihen allegedly broke into a solar power generation facility in Wedgefield, Florida, and spent hours systematically destroying solar panel arrays in late June.

He is accused of smashing panels, cutting wires, and targeting critical electronic equipment. Court documents say Hnaihen left behind two more copies of his threatening demand letter. Prosecutors believe Hnaihen caused more than $700,000 in damage.

Law enforcement identified Hnaihen following a "multi-agency effort" and arrested him on July 11, shortly after another "Warning Letter" threatening to "destroy or explode everything" was discovered at an industrial propane gas distribution depot in Orlando.

"We allege that the defendant threatened to carry out hate-fueled mass violence in our country, motivated in part by a desire to target businesses for their perceived support of Israel," U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. "Such acts and threats of violence, whether they are targeting the places that Americans frequent every day or our country’s critical infrastructure, are extremely dangerous and will not be tolerated by the Justice Department."

If convicted, Hnaihen faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison for each threat offense and up to 20 years’ imprisonment for the destruction of an energy facility offense, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Florida Roger Handberg announced. 

At his detention hearing Thursday, Hnaihen was ordered to be detained pending trial. The indictment also notifies Hnaihen that the United States intends to forfeit assets connected to the offense.

"Targeting and attacking businesses for perceived beliefs is unacceptable," Handberg said. "The U.S. Attorney’s Office will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to investigate and federally prosecute those who make violent or hate-based threats and who seek to act on these threats."

"Under the guise of expressing his beliefs, the defendant allegedly attacked a power facility and threatened local businesses, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages," FBI Director Christopher Wray said. "Violence and destruction of property to threaten and intimidate others will never be tolerated. The FBI and our partners will work together to pursue and hold accountable those who resort to violence."

The investigation was conducted by the FBI and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, with valuable assistance from the Maitland Police Department, the Winter Park Police Department, and the Orlando Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Richard Varadan is leading the prosecution. 

The incident comes months after two Jordanian nationals who were in the United States illegally attempted to breach the Marine Corps Base in Virginia in May. 

As tensions rise in the Middle East, an expert recently told Fox News Digital that Jordan remains the "last holdout," as Iran sets its sights on transforming the country into Tehran's next great "terror front."

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to meet with Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss the possibility of him dropping out of the race and endorsing her in exchange for a position in her administration.

Kennedy, whose long-shot bid for president took a hit earlier this week when a judge ruled his name should not appear on New York’s ballot, sought out the meeting with Harris in hopes of landing a potential Cabinet secretary position in her future administration, according to a report from the Washington Post.

Harris and her campaign have yet to respond with an offer to meet the independent candidate, the report notes, nor have they shown any interest in entertaining his proposal.

The longshot contender’s outreach was made through intermediaries, and comes after Kennedy made similar overtures to former President Trump during a meeting at last month’s convention in Milwaukee, which also resulted in no agreement between the two sides.

Kennedy, who polling has shown as one of the most disruptive independent candidates in decades, could be looking to leverage his position and drop out of the race, throwing his weight and considerable pull with his supporters behind the candidate who will allow him to continue having an influence past the election.

Nevertheless, Kennedy has continued to campaign and make regular media appearances with the expectation that he can win the election, the report notes, though he has left open the possibility of meeting with or getting out of the way of either Harris or Trump if they share an openness for his vision for the country.

"From the beginning of this campaign, we were saying people should be talking to each other," Kennedy told the Washington Post. "That is the only way of unifying the country."

Kennedy also expressed hope that Harris would reconsider his offer to meet, arguing that it is a "strategic mistake" for the Democrat’s campaign.

"That’s my perspective," Kennedy said. "I think they ought to be looking at every opportunity. I think it is going to be a very close race."

The independent candidate would later take to social media, saying in a post on X Thursday that he has no intention of endorsing Harris.

"VP Harris’s Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father and uncle and I cannot reconcile it with my values," Kennedy said in the post. "I have no plans to endorse Kamala Harris for President. I do have a plan to defeat her."

Meanwhile, speculation continues that Kennedy and the Trump campaign could come to an agreement to bring the independent candidate into the fold. According to the Washington Post, the independent candidate was spotted at a hotel not far from Trump’s florida home and campaign headquarters.

Speaking to the Washington Post on the condition of anonymity, Trump campaign advisers said that they are in touch with Kennedy’s senior team and that there is an expectation he will drop out and throw his support behind the former president.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.

Kennedy also noted he has had no contact with the Democratic Party since launching his independent campaign, which sparked a legal battle with the Democratic National Committee in an attempt to derail his and other third party campaigns.

"The only contact I have with the DNC is them suing me through intermediaries," Kennedy told the Washington Post.

Reached for comment, the Kennedy campaign referred Fox News Digital to his Thursday post.

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
