Israeli authorities on Friday filed an indictment against two teenagers — an Israeli and a Palestinian from Hebron — accusing them of membership in the Islamic State group and conspiring to carry out a terrorist attack on a synagogue in the central Israeli city of Lod.
According to the indictment, the Israeli teen began communicating with ISIS operatives and supporters on social media in the months leading up to August 2024. Prosecutors said the teen adopted the group’s ideology and pledged allegiance in a video sent to his ISIS handler.
