Amad Lutfy Jabarin, 20; and
a minor (at the time the offenses were committed).
The ISA investigation shows that the three planned to carry out a shooting
attack at the Al Aqsa Mosque similar to the 14 July 2017
The attack was thwarted thanks to precise intelligence information that led
to the timely arrest of the cell members even before they managed to procure
weapons.
It was also learned that some cell members also considered attacking sacred
buildings (synagogues and churches) and security forces, carrying out
vehicular attacks, and carrying out attacks over the Christmas holiday.
The ISA investigation revealed that two cell members support the murderous
ideology of the Islamic State terrorist organization and sought to
perpetrate attacks in the context of this support.
The ISA views Israelis that support Islamic State as a grave threat
especially those who are in contact with the organization and operate on its
behalf inside the State of Israel.
The ISA will continue to monitor suspects and take the necessary enforcement
measures to thwart both the spread of Islamic State ideology in Israel and
the carrying out of any actions whatsoever that harm the security of the
state.
