[IsraelTimes] Kamel Nashef, 21, from Taybeh arrested, set to be indicted for contacting and swearing allegiance to ISIS, tipping off West Bank terror operatives to IDF movements

Police announced Thursday that they had arrested and intend to indict a man from the Arab town of Taybeh who swore allegiance to the 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....
(ISIS) terror group and sought to carry out attacks to avenge the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
The suspect, named in a statement from the police and Shin Bet as Kamel Nashef, 21, was also accused of tipping off terror operatives in the West Bank city of Tulkarem by sending them photos of Israeli troops on their way there as part of a large-scale counterterror operation there in recent months.

Nashef is accused of making contact with figures who identify with ISIS, also known as ISIS, starting in the summer of 2024.

"Nashef swore allegiance to the ISIS terror group, saw himself as part of the group and even held materials identified with the group which were seized during his arrest," the statement read.

A video published by police of the arrest showed a rifle and Paleostinian and Islamic State flags allegedly found in his home. It was unclear when the arrest took place.

Nashef was set to be indicted on Thursday, the statement said.

This is the second time in several months that residents of Taybeh in central Israel are accused of ISIS-linked terrorist plots.

In October, police and the Shin Bet said they had thwarted a plot by five Taybeh residents to carry out a car-bombing attack at Tel Aviv’s Azrieli Mall under the banner of the fanatical terror group that originated in Iraq and Syria.

Paleostinian assailants have also been recently accused of ISIS ties. Last month one of them, a terrorist from the West Bank’s Hebron who murdered three people and maimed others in a series of attacks in Jerusalem in recent years, was sentenced to three life sentences and another 40-year prison sentence.
