Israeli police and the Shin Bet security agency announced the arrest of an 18-year-old from Umm al-Fahm, suspected of pledging allegiance to ISIS and planning an attack against Israeli soldiers in Jerusalem's Old City. A joint statement indicated that an indictment is being prepared.
The investigation, which began last month and involved the Central Unit of the Coastal District, focused on suspicions of security offenses, including membership in a group Israel designates as terrorist and preparing to carry out an attack. According to the suspicions, the teenager declared his allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) and spent the past year planning to target Israeli soldiers in the Old City.
Following his arrest, police searched his home in Umm al-Fahm, seizing digital materials and evidence they claim supports the suspicions of supporting the organization and planning the attack. The Central Unit of the Coastal District reportedly gathered sufficient evidence to proceed with legal action, with a declaration of indictment filed as a precursor to formal charges.
Police and the Shin Bet affirmed their continued cooperation in pursuing individuals suspected of involvement in security activities and thwarting attack plots.
