[IsraelTimes] IDF forces tossed in the slammer
Please don't kill me!
12 suspects in the West Bank, one of whom was allegedly active with the 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
terror group, in the overnight hours between Saturday and Sunday.

The suspect involved with IS was one of seven suspects who have been implicated in throwing improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails at civilians and security forces. He was picked up in Hebron along with three others, according to Israeli news outlet Ynet.

The other suspects were allegedly involved with Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

Ten Israelis have been killed in Paleostinian terrorist attacks in recent weeks.

Last week police arrested six Arab Israelis for spraying graffiti in Arabic praising the Islamic State on a memorial monument for fallen Druze IDF soldiers along the Carmel Scenic Route, located east of the predominantly Druze village of Daliyat al-Karmel. The incident came in the wake of the shooting by a police officer of a 22-year-old Arab Israeli man in Kafr Kanna on November 15.

Last month, residents of Daliyat al-Karmel, south of Haifa, discovered four graffiti spray paintings of the word "Daesh" -- an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State -- near a soccer field in the city

In a separate incident, the words "Daesh is on the way" were found daubed in Arabic alongside an Israeli flag in the village of Bana'a, in the Galilee.

The Shin Bet internal security service and police believe that, as of last month, more than 30 Israeli Arabs have joined the Islamic State, also known by the acronyms IS, ISIS and ISIL.
