Jerusalem, 4 April, 2024 (TPS) -- Three Palestinians from eastern Jerusalem planning terror attacks in support of Islamic State were arrested, the Israeli Security Agency (Shin Bet) said on Thursday.

The group planned to prepare explosive charges for attacks on a soccer stadium and police station in the Israeli capital.

According to the Shin Bet, two Palestinians, both in their 20s, joined up with a third terrorist in his 50s who advised them to travel abroad for training.

The three also pledged their allegiance to ISIS.

Since October 7, Israeli security forces have arrested 3,700 Palestinian terror suspects in Judea and Samaria, of whom 1,600 are associated with Hamas.
