Umm al-Fahm resident charged with planning terror attack on behalf of ISIS
2024-10-30
[IsraelTimes] Police and the Shin Bet say they recently arrested an Umm al-Fahm
…home of the militant Northern Branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel…
resident on suspicion of planning a terror attack on behalf of ISIS.

According to an investigation, Abed al-Rahman Mahajna pledged allegiance to the terror organization and its leader multiple times in recent months and was involved in the rioting that took place amid unrest across the country in May 2021, during the Gaza operation Guardian of the Walls.

Police found in Mahajna’s possession documents detailing explosives preparation and a will expressing his desire to die as a martyr.

The Haifa District Attorney’s Office filed charges against him today.

“This case joins a series of arrests made against Israeli citizens who planned to carry out terrorist activities in Israel,” a senior Shin Bet source says. “The trend of Israeli citizens being involved in terrorism and espionage is extremely grave, and the defense establishment will act with a firm hand against those involved.”
