The arrests include two alleged plots to attack Israeli security forces and a former Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldier accused of training to join ISIS in a foreign country. Yaqoub Shibli was apprehended on August 16 in a joint operation by the Shin Bet and the Israel Police's Northern District central investigative unit. According to investigators, Shibli displayed support for ISIS, watched ISIS-related material, and pledged allegiance to the terrorist organization. The indictment was filed at the Nof Hagalil-Nazareth Magistrate's Court. This follows three other cases filed against residents of northern Israel since August 28.",
