Lea Speyer, Breaking Israel News (BIN) — Israeli security forces arrested three men who are part of an ISIS affiliated terror cell in Hebron.The cell members were arrested in November 2014 by the Shin Bet and have been charged with launching an unsuccessful terror attack against IDF soldiers and conspiring to kidnap and kill Israeli civilians and military personnel in Judea and Samaria.

“ISIS’s people are knocking on our border,” an IDF officer explained to Channel 2. “Today they are strong in Sinai and therefore we have to prepare for it. In general all threats of terror within our border employ all of the IDF.”
“We made adjustments when we realized that the phenomenon of ISIS breaks any previous historical limits,” the senior military officer added.
