5 Arab Israelis arrested for IS support, planning terror attacks

[oberliner]

Israel has arrested five Israeli Arabs from Nazareth on suspicion of supporting the Islamic State and preparing to carry out terror attacks, the Shin Bet security service announced Tuesday.

The cell’s members, all reportedly members of the same family, were arrested in October and November in a joint operation of the Shin Bet and Israel Police, according to officials.

The men were named as Abd al Karim Ihab Abdel Rahman Suleiman, 22; Mohammed Ihab Abdel Rahman Suleiman, 18; Abdel Karim Jamal Ali Suleiman, 23; Mohammed Salah Mohammed Suleiman, 19 and Murad Mohammed Salim Suleiman, 27.

The five relatives held secret meetings and trained in the use of weapons ahead of planned attacks in Israel, according to the Shin Bet. Over the past year, the suspects became more religious and expressed support of the Islamic State and the so-called jihad against apostates.

2. Because it's in Israel and even though it's ISIS , I wonder if they will say this is not terrorism?

4. They were planning terror....these terrorists....

Exactly the same as some ISIS terrorists have been apprehended in the USA and Canada and Australia and France planning terror ...... Exactly the same in Israel - identical situation.... Deal with them all the same way - in all these countries.
Jail them and get them off the streets.

At the point they were caught they were wannabes, they deserve to be jailed but they had not committed any acts of terrorism nor were they yet terrorists and I would have said the same of San Bernardino couple in the US if we had been fortunate enough to capture them prior to them committing any acts of terror

Israel has nothing to do with what I said, merely accuracy
