(Jerusalem Post) Ilan Evyatar - Iman Kanjo, an Israeli-Arab woman from Shfaram, was sentenced to 22 months in prison on Monday after confessing to forging links with an ISIS supporter on Facebook, and seeking to travel to Syria to join Islamic State. On Tuesday, three residents of Yatta in the West Bank were indicted for involvement in the shooting attack in Tel Aviv in June that left four people dead. Yunis Aish Musa Zin, who backed out of the attack at the last minute, said they had been inspired by ISIS. On Jan. 1, Nashat Melhem, an Israeli Arab who shot three people to death in Tel Aviv, left behind a black ISIS banner at the scene. Several other ISIS-inspired cells have been uncovered by the Israel Security Agency and dozens of Israeli Arabs are believed to have traveled to Syria to join the group.
