An Indiana woman was arrested after police say she drove her car into a building housing an extremist sect of the Black Hebrew Israelites, mistakenly thinking it was a Jewish school, according to a local report. 

Local TV station WXIN reported that Ruba Algmaghtheth, 34, allegedly backed her car into the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge in Indianapolis on Friday night. Police responded to a report of a possible hate crime. 

The Anti-Defamation League defines the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge as “an extreme and antisemitic sect of Black Hebrew Israelites.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated the Black Hebrew Israelites, a fringe group known for proselytizing in crowded urban areas, as a hate group, “who preach they and only they are the true Israelites of the Bible and perpetuate the anti-Semitic belief that ‘so-called’ Jews have stolen their identity and ‘birthright.’”

Algmaghtheth was offended by the “Hebrew Israelite” symbol on the front of the building, which she thought marked the building as an “Israel school,” according to the local news outlet.  

She also allegedly confessed that she wanted to plan an attack on the building after watching news coverage of the ongoing war between Israeli forces and Hamas militants, police said.

“Yes. I did it on purpose,” she allegedly said. 

Algmaghtheth also referenced “her people back in Palestine,” police said.

Several children and adults were inside at the time Algmaghtheth allegedly drove her car into the building, though no one was hurt.

Police labeled Algmaghtheth a “terrorist” and arrested her on a preliminary charge of criminal recklessness, WXIN reported.
