English · 8 newsrooms covering

Israel's Shin Bet security agency announced it uncovered a "West Bank-style" terror cell in the Bedouin community of Segev Shalom in the Negev, arresting five suspects. The cell allegedly planned attacks, including shootings and explosives, and was inspired by Palestinian militant groups. Separately, an Israeli citizen was arrested for planning a nightclub attack and having ties to ISIS. The Shin Bet reported 72 Negev residents arrested for security offenses this year. However, a Bedouin council denied the "battalion" claims, calling them "racist incitement" and disputing the numbers, attributing the incidents to state neglect and discrimination.
