In June 2015, the family – a mother, father and their three children, traveled to Romania for the medical school graduation ceremony of a relative.
The family announced later that they would be continuing their vacation in Turkey. Once they arrived in Turkey, communication with the family stopped.
They were heard from again once they arrived to Syria.
The woman’s father has been working to bring the family back to Israel. He contacted his daughter in Syria and after convincing the family to return, he headed to Turkey to facilitate their entry.
A video shows the family arriving at a hotel in Turkey to meet the grandfather in which he states, “I’ll do anything for you all, I missed you so much.”
The trip was a shock to their home town of Sakhnin, where residents told The Jerusalem Post’s sister publication Ma’ariv last year that the family were business owners on good terms with everyone.
It was the first time an entire family had left Israel to join ISIS.
more loyal Israeli-Arabs, I hope the Zionists draft their kids into the army instead of taking boys whose only wish is to learn the Torah.
The family and the father are likely in cahoots. Israel should not allow them back!
Or a mossad mission who knows?
