Israeli police and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) have arrested an 18-year-old resident of Umm el-Fahm who allegedly pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and was planning a terror attack in Jerusalem's Old City. The joint operation, conducted by the Coastal District police and the Shin Bet, focused on suspected severe offenses against state security, participation in a terror organization, and preparation for a terror attack over the past month.

During the investigation, authorities determined the suspect had sworn loyalty to ISIS and had been planning an attack targeting Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers in the Old City area for about a year. Evidence, including digital materials, was found at his home supporting suspicions of his affiliation with the terror group and involvement in planning the attack.

A preliminary indictment has been filed against the suspect, with a full indictment expected in the coming days.
