Two Arab Israelis accused of planning IS-inspired attack at Tel Aviv synagogue
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTwo Arab Israeli men are charged with planning to carry out an Islamic State-inspired shooting in a Tel Aviv synagogue where one of them had worked.
They are also suspected of failing to report another group of Arab Israeli men — also supporters of the Islamic State group — who were planning a shooting attack on the Temple Mount holy site in September, similar to an attack in July that killed two Israel Police officers.
The cell was arrested before it could carry out its attack.
The suspects are identified as Muhammad Jabarin, 20, and a 16-year-old who cannot be named as he is a minor. Both of them are residents of the predominantly Arab town of Umm al-Fahm in northern Israel.
