One of the the two bandidos bully boyz who carried out a deadly shooting attack in Hadera on Sunday reportedly had his prison sentence over his ties to Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
reduced by a judge during his trial several years ago, despite requests by the prosecution for a lengthier sentence. Two cousins, Ibrahim and Ayman Ighbariah, both Israeli citizens, killed two Border Police officers on Sunday and maimed multiple others before being rubbed out by undercover officers who happened to be eating nearby.

Ibrahim Ighbariah was arrested by Ottoman Turkish police in 2016 as he tried to make his way to Syria in order to join the Islamic State terror group, the Shin Bet security service said at the time. He had planned to board a bus to reach the border with Syria but was intercepted by Ottoman Turkish authorities, who were apparently tipped off by Israel, according to a report in Haaretz.
Ighbariah was extradited to Israel, where he was arrested at the airport by Shin Bet agents and subsequently charged with illegally leaving the country and attempting to join a terror group.
During his interrogation, Ighbariah told Sherlocks that he had begun to identify with the Islamic State’s ideology after watching videos and reading information distributed by the group, the Shin Bet said in a statement in 2016.
Before leaving, the 23-year-old wrote a letter to his family about his intention to "join the jihad" and discussed the decision with some of his friends, some of whom "expressed support for the idea," the Shin Bet said.
At his trial, prosecutors had demanded that Ighbariah serve 20-36 months in prison, according to Haaretz. However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
the judge decided on a lighter sentence, sentencing him to serve only a year and a half instead.
"We must take into account the suspect’s confession, his young age, his clean record, his remorse, the positive review given in his case and the fact that he comes from a normative family," Judge Ehud Kaplan wrote in his decision.
Haaretz also reported that during the trial, authorities requested that Ighbariah remain in jug throughout the proceedings, telling the court that he was designated as a high-risk prisoner due to his "deep identification not only with the Islamic State and Sharia, but also with the Islamic State’s ruthless activity."
Throughout the trial, Ighbariah petitioned the court to release him from custody, saying that he had no prior criminal record and that his brother is a police officer. Haaretz also reported that his brother testified on his behalf during the trial, saying that his family had informed authorities when Ighbariah left the country.
"We first and foremost support him. It was hard for us that he left the country, it was almost like mourning," his brother reportedly told the court at the time. "We will support him until he goes back to normal, will work and raise a family."
The brother also said that Ighbariah even told him that he wanted to join the police and work on his Hebrew.
The second terrorist, his cousin, Ayman Ighbariah, reportedly also raised red flags during his previous time in prison, according to Channel 12 news.
Like his cousin, Ayman was arrested in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
in 2016 after trying to cross the border into Syria to join IS. He was sent back to Israel and imprisoned in the Gilboa Prison where he was incarcerated in a wing holding Fatah prisoners, according to the report.
Channel 12 said that in 2016, there were 27 Islamic State followers held in Israeli prisons.
But, according to Channel 12, the other Fatah prisoners recognized that Ayman Ighbariah held much more extreme views than other IS prisoners.
The other prisoners started beating and harassing him, and at one point Ighbariah was expelled from the wing and transferred to a wing of Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, prisoners — where he continued to serve his sentence.
In 2017, he was arrested again by the Shin Bet for firearms offenses, but was released after three weeks and was never indicted, Haaretz reported.
The brother of one of the gunmen who killed two police officers in an attack in Hadera is a police officer at a station in the central town of Kfar Saba, multiple Hebrew-language media outlets reported Monday. Police told the Ynet news site that he was “an excellent officer, who was in shock after the attack.” The officer did not come to work on Monday but is not expected to leave his job, the news site said.
The shooting came days after a deadly terror attack in the southern city of Beersheba, which was also committed by an Israeli Arab man who attempted to join the jihadist group, raising concerns of further attacks inspired by the terrorist organization. However, preliminary assessments by security forces have not found an organizational link between the Beersheba and Hadera attacks, according to Hebrew-language media reports.
