Jihadis have long wanted to poison the water supply. As far back as 2002, the feds arrested two jihadis who were carrying plans about how to poison water supplies in Denver. In 2003, al-Qaeda threatened to poison water supplies in Western countries.
And in May 2013, seven Muslim “chemical engineers” were caught trespassing at the Quabbin Reservoir, a key supply of water for Boston, after midnight. Only months later and indirectly did we hear that it was a “criminal matter.” A month later, locks were cut at the aqueduct that supplies water to Greater Boston.
Also in May 2013, jihadists were caught in Canada who had considered poisoning air and water to murder up to 100,000 people. In October 2013, the FBI was investigating a possible water supply threat in Wichita. In January 2014, a Muslim broke into a water treatment plant in New Jersey. In September 2018 in Lebanon, a Muslim was arrested for two jihad mass poisoning plots, one of the Lebanese army’s water supply.
“Israeli Arab indicted for planning to poison the Sea of Galilee,” JNS, April 12, 2024:
A 22-year-old Arab from Baqa al-Gharbiya in central Israel, who was indicted on terrorism charges, planned to poison the Sea of Galilee (Lake Kinneret) as part of an ISIS plot, the Israel Police revealed Thursday.
Fahmi Kittani, who declared his allegiance to the terror group in 2015, planned various attacks, including assaults on Israel Defense Forces soldiers and suicide bombings, according to the indictment.
Kittani allegedly immersed himself in ISIS ideology, actively participating in and distributing content through Telegram channels associated with the terror group. In February, he circulated execution videos amongst his contacts, threatening similar actions against Jews….
The trio planned to poison the Kinneret—Israel’s primary freshwater source—by placing an animal carcass in one of the pumping stations. They also attempted, unsuccessfully, to manufacture explosives based on instructions communicated through ISIS networks. The prosecution has requested that Kittani remain in custody until the end of his trial….
In recent months, security forces have foiled an ISIS-inspired plot near the Knesset, Israel’s parliament in Jerusalem, as well as dismantled a terror cell associated with ISIS in Tarqumiyah, near Hebron. The Judea cell had successfully produced over 100 explosive devices.
In early April, four residents of eastern Jerusalem were charged after planning an attack on a police station.
Earlier this year, Islamic State spokesman Abu Huthaifa al-Ansari published a speech calling on ISIS supporters around the world to attack Jews and avenge the deaths of Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
Westman says
It is always illuminating to hear that Muslim terrorist “Chemists” plan to poison the Sea Of Galilee, 4 cubic kilometers or 1.4 x 10¹³ gallons of water. 100,000 gallons of anything dumped in the lake would only be 44 parts per trillion. Birds, alone, dump quite a load into the lake, some with human-acquiring diseases, and pose no problem.
Maybe these “Chemists” were educated at Harvard or Stanford?
Westman says
I guess these “chemists” didn’t understand that in a reasonable time you can’t poison a body of water this size.
I remember an American city that drained its Million gallon reservoir when a drunk urinated in it when in fact, upstream deer had been doing worse for years. Perception trumps reality it seems.
James Lincoln says
The very strategic Quabbin Reservoir It’s only about 5 miles northeast of Springfield, Massachusetts.
It supplies drinking water to the greater Boston area.
An attack on that water supply could be devastating.

Everyone needs water….as we all know so well. There are many mozlums living in Boston….some even in the city government.
Many mozlums get their water from Israel.
There are many, many mozlums in NJ.
All of those need water; but mozlums don’t give a hoot if their fellow molzums are poisoned along with the infidels they hope to murder.
I believe they get some of their ideas from old movies and television programs where regular terrorists…perhaps trying to get a ransom payment…poison the water supply. And there are plenty of old westerns where the gang of bad guys (and sometimes gals) poison the few pools of water in the desert so the good guys have to turn back.
A note on something I always thought stupid….when the person seeking water drained the last of their canteen, they tossed it as if they wouldn’t need it when they finally found a pool of good water..
OLD GUY says
And the environmental people are where? Not a peep. Should have said Muslims planned to drill oil wells than the green people would have noticed and raised all kinds of hell. Well maybe NOT they wouldn’t be drilling in AMERICA.
This poisoning of The Sea of Galilee is a serious thing. Even if they could NOT put enough poison in the sea to have a great effect, who would want to drink the water or ear the fish as part of your food supply?
Just shows how SICK and WICKED the minds of MUSLIMS/ISLAMIC JIHADIST are.
David says
This sort of plot is not new. Back in the 20s and 30s the Muslims in the pre-Israel League of Nations Mandate tried to poison water supplies, and the Mufti of Jerusalem plotted to poison the milk supply provided to Jewish schoolchildren
