In recent weeks, Muhammad Abdel Gani, a resident of Nahaf in the Galilee, aged 20, was arrested for questioning.

During his interrogation at the Shin Bet and the Northern Command, it emerged that several months ago, Muhammad swore allegiance to the terrorist organization "Islamic State," attempted to purchase a gun, and intended to promote terrorist activity against IDF soldiers in the city of Karmiel.

During his arrest, various posters and symbols that had been hanging in his room were also seized, which testified to his level of involvement and deep identification with the goals of the terrorist organization.

This morning (Thursday), an indictment against him and a request to detain him until the end of the proceedings were submitted to the Nazareth District Court by the Northern District Attorney's Office.
