Security forces foil a plot by three East Jerusalem men who had sworn allegiance to Islamic State to carry out terror attacks in the capital, the police and Shin Bet say in a statement.
Two of the men were plotting to place explosives and carry out a shooting attacks on a police station and at Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem.
They then joined with the third person who advised them on their planned attack and urged them to go overseas for military training, the statement says, noting that they were arrested before they could leave the country.
The three men, described as being in their 20s, were arrested last month.
