State prosecutors indict a 65-year-old resident of Tuba-Zangariyye today on terror charges, accusing him of incitement over his alleged social media posts supporting several terrorist groups.
The defendant was arrested June 29 after police received a report about his Facebook posts, in which he allegedly published content in support of Hamas, ISIS and al-Qaeda, says law enforcement.
Police raided the man’s home to find an ISIS flag in his room, alongside several guns with magazines, machetes and walkie-talkies.
The suspect quoted Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida directly, police say, in one Facebook post which read: “The Islamic nation will not rise, and will have no standing among the nations until this holy land is cleansed of the occupiers’ impurity.”
He is indicted at the Kiryat Shmona Magistrate’s Court on charges of incitement to terrorism, identification with a terrorist organization and possession of illegal weapons.
