A New Jersey man’s assassination plot to firebomb a prominent Palestinian activist’s home with Molotov cocktails was dramatically foiled Thursday after a months-long NYPD intelligence bureau probe, officials and sources said. Federal agents raided Alexander Heifler’s home in Hoboken on Thursday after he allegedly schemed to attack Nerdeen Kiswani — the founder of the pro-Palestinian group Within Our Lifetime — and flee to Israel, sources said. Heifler, 26, who had ties to an offshoot of a violent Jewish extremist group, had revealed the bomb plot to an undercover officer with the NYPD’s intelligence and counterterrorism bureau, the sources said.
