The Israel Police release footage of the arrest of one of the two Bedouin Israeli women suspected of joining the Islamic State terror group and planning to carry out attacks on its behalf in Israel.
In the footage, a well-armed team of masked police officers can be seen entering the home of one of the 19-year-old suspects in the southern Israeli town of Lakiya on December 18.
After a quick search of the house, the team leads the suspect away in handcuffs. It is not clear which of the two appears in the video.
Earlier in the day, indictments were filed against Rahma al-Assad and Tasnin al-Assad, on charges they made contact with the Islamic State, planned to carry out attacks in Israel and joined the terrorist group’s affiliate in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.
