DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. March 1, 2017, 2:36 PM (IDT)
The Jerusalem District court Wednesday sentenced Mu’aid Abu Rabba, from East Jerusalem, to four and-a- half years in prison for supporting the Islamic State, contacting a foreign agent anda conspiracy to conduct a terrorist attack in Israel. He was accused of trying to leave the country to join the Islamist terrorist group in Syria and when he failed, getting in touch with two Palestinians to organize an act of terror. Both his co-conspirators have been tried and convicted.
