It has been cleared for publication that the Shin Bet and the Jerusalem District Police arrested three Arabs from the Umm Tuba neighborhood in southern Jerusalem who intended to join ISIS overseas.

Upon searching their homes, the forces found a large amount of cash and various books and materials about the murderous terror organization's ideology.

The Shin Bet investigation found that the suspects recently swore allegiance to the Islamic State. They consumed its materials and contacted ISIS operatives overseas through social media to join the organization's ranks.

It was also discovered that the suspects filed for passports and were expected to leave Israel.

In the coming days the prosecution is expected to submit an indictment against the three after the investigation is completed.
