JNS.org – An Israeli Arab family, who moved to Syria allegedly to join the Islamic State (ISIS), has fled to Turkey with the hope of returning to Israel, reported Channel 2 news on August 31.
The family of five, originally from the mostly Muslim city of Sakhnin in northern Israel, reportedly joined ISIS over a year ago. The family traveled to Romania for a relative’s graduation ceremony, then told family they would continue to Turkey for a vacation. Days later, the family told relatives they were joining ISIS in Syria.
The mother’s father recently convinced them to return to Israel and made arrangements to meet them in Turkey where he could work on their re-entry.
Israel continues to discover cases of Israeli Arab citizens attempting to join ISIS, including two Israeli Arab men who were indicted in July for plotting to join the terror group in Syria.
