Jordanian man gets 6 years for attacking Florida power facility, businesses over support of Israel

  • Hashem Younis Hashem Hnaihen, a 44-year-old Jordanian man residing illegally in Orlando, was sentenced to six years in federal prison in May 2025 for attacks on Florida businesses and a power facility.
  • Starting in June 2024, Hnaihen carried out nighttime attacks on various businesses in the Orlando region, motivated by their view that these establishments supported Israel; during these incidents, Hnaihen broke doors and left politically charged warning letters.
  • He vandalized several private businesses and a solar energy site near Wedgefield, Florida, causing damages exceeding $450,000 while wearing a mask during nighttime.
  • Authorities arrested Hnaihen in July 2024 after discovering another warning letter at a propane depot and transferred him to federal custody following his indictment, with the U.S. Attorney condemning threats and attacks.
  • After pleading guilty in December 2024 to threatening explosives and damaging an energy facility, a restitution hearing was scheduled, highlighting continued U.S. concerns over rising threats linked to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
