  "summary": "Singapore's terrorism threat remains high as the Internal Security Department (ISD) attributes this to conflicts in the Middle East that are being exploited by terrorist and extremist groups to spread propaganda and encourage attacks. The ISD's annual terrorism report highlights that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the US-Israel conflict with Iran have contributed to growing tensions between communities, intensifying anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim rhetoric, and Islamophobia. Moreover, these conflicts have led to an increase in youth radicalisation cases handled under the Internal Security Act (ISA), with cases involving young people rising from four between 2017 and 2021 to 15 since 2022. ISD warns that the threat from global Islamist groups including Al-Qaeda and Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) persists, although there is currently no specific intelligence indicating an imminent attack against Singapore.",
