Israel Police and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) arrested four individuals in the Beit Safafa neighborhood in east Jerusalem on suspicion of purchasing weapons and planning a large-scale terror attack on behalf of ISIS, the agencies said on Friday morning.
The four claimed the attack to be part of "the great war at the end of times."
During the investigation, it was revealed that the four had consumed a large amount of ISIS content, including graphic footage of killings committed by the group.
The police discovered a handgun hidden in a chicken coop at one of the suspects homes during the arrest.
“What was seized from me is for the great war," the suspect said during the investigation. "The handgun I will use against the Jews or anyone who is not a Muslim."
