A Beersheba Magistrate's Court has sentenced Dr. Mohammed Azzam, formerly of Soroka Hospital, to 27 months in prison and a fine of 15,000 shekels for belonging to the Islamic State (ISIS) organization. The prosecution, represented by attorneys Hovav Kentropets and Tehela Nedam from the Southern District Attorney's Office, stated that Azzam underwent a period of ideological extremism and swore allegiance to the ISIS leader after the October 7th attack. He was also found to possess instructions for making explosives on his mobile phone. The court cited Azzam's position as a doctor in a public hospital, treating soldiers and civilians, as an aggravating factor in sentencing him. The ruling noted that Azzam had sworn allegiance to the ISIS leader after the October 7th attack and possessed bomb-making instructions on his phone.
