Israeli police and the Shin Bet announced Tuesday the thwarting of a terrorist attack plot targeting Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers near Jerusalem's Old City. An 18-year-old suspect from Umm al-Fahm in northern Israel was arrested. Authorities stated the suspect had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) and had been planning the attack for several months.
The arrest followed a joint investigation over the past month by the Israeli Police's Coastal District Central Unit and the Shin Bet. The investigation focused on suspicions of severe threats to state security, membership in a terrorist organization, and preparation of an attack.
Investigators determined that the young man had sworn allegiance to ISIS and, over the past year, had developed a plan to attack Israeli soldiers in the Old City area. During his arrest, police searched his home, seizing material evidence and digital devices, which authorities said strengthened suspicions of his support for the terrorist organization and involvement in planning the attack.
The prosecution has filed a declaration with the court, paving the way for the suspect's indictment. Police and the Shin Bet reiterated their commitment to continued cooperation in thwarting terror threats and bringing those involved to justice.
