Police arrest two East Jerusalem residents accused of supporting the Islamic State terror group and allegedly planning to carry out bombing attacks in the capital.

This is the second such arrest this month.

The pair purchased chemical materials to make explosive devices to be used against civilians and security forces in Jerusalem, the Israel Police and the Shin Bet security service say in a joint statement on Monday.

Police said the suspects, aged 19 and 20, were arrested on December 26 in their homes in Ras al-Amud in East Jerusalem.
