Residents of the village of Daburiya, identified with the Salafi movement in Islam, planned to abduct IDF soldier and border guard, carry out terror attacks.
Five Israeli Arabs from the village of Daburiya in northern Israel have recently been arrested on suspicion of planning terror attacks against Israeli citizens, it was revealed Thursday, after a gag order was lifted on the case.
The General Security Service operated in coordination with the Northern District's Central Unit of Israel Police and detained the men, who according to suspicions, planned to hurt an Israel Defense Forces soldier and a border guard living in Daburiya and attack a police station in the village among other attacks.
The men were detained in the planning stages, before they were able to acquire weapons.
The group is part of the Salafi movement in Islam, and one member of the terror cell created a website advocating Jihad according to Salafi principles.
Israel's defense system has recently seen an increase of Salafi influence on radical actors in the region. Those responsible for the murder of the Nazareth taxi driver Yafim Weinstein were also identified with the Salafi ideology.
