Israeli police and the Shin Bet security agency announced on Tuesday the thwarting of a planned terrorist attack targeting Israeli soldiers in Jerusalem's Old City. An 18-year-old resident of Umm al-Fahm was arrested on suspicion of pledging allegiance to ISIS and planning the assault.
A joint investigation conducted over the past month by the Coastal District's Central Unit and the Shin Bet uncovered suspicions of serious security offenses, including membership in a terrorist organization and preparation for an attack. Investigators believe the suspect declared loyalty to the Islamic State and had spent the last year planning to attack soldiers in the Old City.
Following his arrest, police searched the suspect's home in Umm al-Fahm, seizing digital evidence and materials that reportedly bolster suspicions of his support for the terrorist group and involvement in the attack plot.
The Coastal District's Central Unit has gathered sufficient evidence, and prosecutors have authorized the filing of an indictment against the suspect. Police and the Shin Bet stated they will continue their joint efforts to thwart terrorist threats and bring those involved in terrorist activities to justice.
