Israeli security forces have arrested a 19-year-old Israeli Arab firefighter from Kafr Qasim on suspicion of forming a terrorist cell and planning an attack on a strategic site in central Israel. The Shin Bet, Israel's internal security agency, alleges that Mustafa Issa, who was performing his mandatory military service as a firefighter, used his access to sensitive information about important locations to plan the assault. Investigators believe Issa's involvement with terrorism began at age 16, intensifying after the start of the war in Gaza. He allegedly made contact with Hamas operatives and Iranian intelligence agents, receiving operational instructions and seeking to acquire bomb-making knowledge. He reportedly attempted to build an explosive device and recruit two acquaintances, who were detained but later released due to insufficient evidence. A search of Issa's home uncovered training equipment and airsoft gear. The investigation, which lasted about a month, is nearing its conclusion, with charges expected to be filed against Issa imminently.
