Khamis Suaed, 30, of Husniya in the Galilee was indicted in Haifa Magistrate's Court on a charge of training or receiving instruction for terrorist purposes. Prosecutors allege the former IDF soldier became ideologically identified with ISIS from 2023, decided in 2024 to travel to Syria or an African country to join the group, and saved money for the trip. During 2026, he allegedly downloaded guides and watched videos about weapons, military tactics, and manufacturing rockets and drones. Police and the Shin Bet arrested him in August, and prosecutors requested his detention through the proceedings.

Difference in reporting

Sources factually disagree on the arrest year: NEWSru states August 2025 in one sentence, while its following sentence and Mako, Israel Hayom, and Ynet place the arrest in August 2026. The remaining facts are uniform: Suaed was indicted in Haifa over alleged preparations and instruction connected to joining ISIS abroad.
