Shin Bet, police indict Arab teenagers for allegedly swearing loyalty to ISIS, planning attacks
The minor, a 16-year-old, was arrested earlier this month after an investigation uncovered that he had allegedly sworn loyalty to ISIS.
Two Arab teenagers, a minor and an adult, were indicted by the police and Israeli intelligence agency Shin Bet on Friday for suspected ties to ISIS and alleged plans to commit terror attacks. The minor, a 16-year-old, was arrested after an investigation found that he had allegedly sworn allegiance to ISIS. Days later, 19-year-old Haifa resident Ibrahim Kaabiyya was also arrested, claiming he had sworn loyalty to ISIS as well.
Police allege Kaabiyya planned to launch a terror attack against an IDF base in northern Israel. The investigation revealed that the minor intended to attack Jewish police and military forces on Temple Mount. He had also searched online for instructions on creating an explosive vest. Earlier this month, a 20-year-old Bedouin man named Abdullah Gergawi was indicted for alleged ISIS ties and plans to carry out terror attacks near a nightclub in Beersheba.
Gergawi was arrested on July 19 on suspicion of contacting foreign agents, possessing weapons, and plotting an attack in Syria.
