Two Arab residents of northern Israel were arrested for interrogation during January and February this year, on suspicion of plotting to carry out a terror attack, the Shabak reported Thursday. According to the report, the two men, ages 19 and 21 from Yafa an-Naseriyye in the Lower Galilee and from Nazareth, respectively, attended weekly prayers in Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, and on one of their trips to the holy city decided to shoot Israeli soldiers — as a way of showing their identification with ISIS and their desire to carry out a jihad in its service.

Their plan focused on Jalama checkpoint near Jenin, to be followed by a shooting spree in the streets of Afula, in the Jezreel Valley. They prepared for their massacre of a lifetime by saving their pennies (agorot in Israel) to buy a gun.
