Police and Shin Bet security services last month arrested a pair of Israeli Arabs who planned to carry out a terrorist attack against IDF soldiers, it has been cleared for publication Tuesday.
The two young men cousins from the Nazareth region in northern Israel - are Muhammed Omar Badr Hassan, in his early twenties, from the town of Rinah; and Ahmed Talal Ahmed Sueida, 23, of Um al-Ganem.
According to investigators, after Sueida made contact with ISIS operatives, the men traveled to Turkey in May 2015 with the intention of crossing the border into Syria to join ISIS forces there.
In recent weeks, security services have warned that ISIS terrorists are increasingly focusing on carrying attacks on Israeli territory, as opposed to merely leaving the country to fight for Islamic State in abroad.
