Teacher suspected of planning to help jihadis enter Israel
[IsraelTimes] Suspect, from Tel Sheva in the south, tossed in the clinkDrop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! 3 weeks ago upon return from Jordan, admitted he sought to join Lion of Islam group Southern District Prosecution was set to file an indictment Monday against a resident of the southern Bedouin town of Tel Sheva, near Beersheba, on suspicion that he had maintained contact with members of jihadist groups from various Arab countries and had agreed to assist murderous Moslems to cross the border into Israel. The suspect, a student in his twenties who served as a substitute teacher at an elementary school in Tel Sheva, was arrested three weeks ago at Israel's eastern border on his way back to the country from a trip to Jordan, following an intensive investigation by Israel Police and the Shin Bet security service. After his arrest, the man confessed that before leaving for Jordan, he had conspired with jihadis from various Arab countries and agreed to help jihad activists from Tunis infiltrate Israel, police said Monday in a statement. The suspect also admitted he had planned to join a Salafi jihadist organization, according to police. His identity was not cleared for publication. Israel's security services estimate some 50 Israeli Arabs have traveled to fight with IS and other jihadist groups in neighboring Syria. Last month, President Reuven Rivlin called on the government to push through new funding for Israeli Arab communities to help counter what he described as a growing influence of Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... . Warning that "Daesh [Islamic State] [an Arabic acronym for Islamic State] is already inside Israel's Arab community," Rivlin told a security conference in Tel Aviv that more support is needed for Arab communities to combat radicalization among the young. The cabinet in December passed an estimated NIS 15 billion ($3.85 billion) plan for development in Arab communities, but neither the funding nor the specific programs have been finalized. The new concern over Arab Israeli integration follows a January 1 terror attack in Tel Aviv by an Arab Israeli, Nashat Milhem, that killed three people and led to speculation that the gunman may have been inspired by IS, though Sherlocks are still studying his motives. Milhem was killed in a shootout with police in his hometown of Arara after a week-long manhunt. Posted by: trailing wife 2016-02-09 |
