Police and Shin Bet Say 19-Year-Old from Shibli Pledged Allegiance to ISIS

Police and Shin Bet said they arrested Yaqoub Shibli, 19, from the northern village of Shibli during August in a joint operation by the Northern District central unit and the security agency. Investigators allege that he expressed support for ISIS, watched material issued by the terrorist organization and pledged allegiance to it. Authorities said an indictment would be filed after the investigation concluded. Police said this case joins three other cases in recent days in which northern residents have been indicted for identifying with the Islamic State.
