Israeli prosecutors have filed a statement of intent to indict an 18-year-old Arab Israeli man from Umm al-Fahm, accusing him of pledging allegiance to ISIS and planning an attack in Jerusalem's Old City. The suspect was arrested last month on suspicion of serious offenses against state security. Investigations revealed that the suspect had pledged allegiance to ISIS and, over the past year, planned to carry out an attack against Israeli soldiers in Jerusalem's Old City. Police and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) stated that during the arrest, evidence and digital materials were seized from the suspect's home, reinforcing suspicions of his support for ISIS and involvement in the attack plot. The charges come amid other recent indictments against Arab Israelis for similar alleged offenses, including one for pledging allegiance to ISIS and another for planning attacks using explosives and poisons.
