Israeli Teenager Charged with ISIS Membership
A 19-year-old Israeli man from northern Israel is set to be indicted for membership in a terrorist organization following a joint investigation by the Northern District Police and the Shin Bet. Yaakoub Shibli, a resident of the Bedouin town of Shibli-Umm al-Ghanam, was arrested on August 16. Investigators allege that Shibli identified with the Islamic State (ISIS), accessed content related to the group, and pledged allegiance to it. The indictment is expected to be filed at the Nof HaGalil-Nazareth Magistrate's Court by the Northern District Prosecutor's Office. He is accused of belonging to a terrorist organization.
This case marks the fourth such indictment in the country's north in recent days, with several residents recently charged for identifying with or supporting ISIS. Israeli police and the Shin Bet stated they are continuing operations against any activities benefiting terrorist organizations that could threaten Israel's security and its citizens.
