Israeli police and the Shin Bet security agency have thwarted a planned terrorist attack targeting IDF soldiers in Jerusalem's Old City. An 18-year-old resident of Umm al-Fahm was arrested on suspicion of pledging allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) and planning an attack against soldiers in the capital over the past year.
The joint investigation, conducted over the last month by the Coastal District's Major Crimes Unit and the Shin Bet, focused on serious offenses against state security, including membership in a terror organization and preparation for a terror act. During the investigation, the suspect was apprehended, and it was revealed he had sworn loyalty to ISIS and was actively planning an attack in the Old City area.
Searches of the suspect's home yielded findings and digital materials that police and the Shin Bet believe corroborate suspicions of his support for the terror group and involvement in the attack plot. Following the conclusion of the investigation and the gathering of evidence, a statement of charges was filed, indicating an indictment is forthcoming.
Both the police and the Shin Bet emphasized their continued commitment to collaborating on thwarting terror threats, identifying individuals involved in terror activities, and prosecuting those who seek to harm national security and the public's safety.
