Police were shocked to discover during the investigation that a brother of one of the terrorists serves as a policeman in Kfar Saba. The Shin Bet is trying to determine who knew of the terrorists intention to attack and whether there was an organized terror cell in the city. During the raid police found weapons and parts of weapons in the houses of the terrorists indicating their prior preparations for the attack
Police raised the level of preparedness to the highest level, meaning that maximum forces will be deployed at all focal points and on roads, with the most deployment in Jerusalem as Ramadan approaches.
Police raid on Umm El-Fahm
One of the terrorists in the attack was apparently known to security elements as a supporter of ISIS. He had previously sat in jail after attempting to join ISIS elements in Turkey and later been freed. If this is true, it means that for the second time in a week, a terrorist attack resulted from a judge demonstrating leniency towards a terrorist who later proved to be an active member of a terror organization.
ISIS took responsibility Monday on its Telegram account for the two attacks in Beersheva and Hadera.
ISIS took responsibility? Big deal! It doesn’t cost them anything to take responsibility….
How about the judge who sent the want-to-be ISIS terrorist out the public?
Did he take responsibility?
Would he have freed the want-to-be ISIS terrorist – if the judge lived in the same neighborhood as the terrorist?
I hope the Israelis received permission from Susan Rice and Ron Klain before doing this raid. Both sides have got to tone down the inflammatory rhetoric.
