The investigation revealed that the group had intended on using the tunnel for weapons smuggling into Israel, and “prepare for judgement day.”
No appeasement could possibly pacify jihadists. They are out to conquer, and have no conscience in doing so. No one is immune; the brutality and hatred of jihadists knows no boundaries.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had words of wisdom that Western leaders should note when he spoke at a ceremony marking 43 years since the 1973 Yom Kippur War. He stated that the war broke out because of “a failure of leadership.”
Netanyahu said that Israel’s leaders had failed to recognize the threat and failed to act against it immediately once it had been identified.
“ISIS-inspired Arab-Israeli cell plotted tunnel from West Bank into Israel”, Jerusalem Post, October 13, 2016:
Charges were filed against three ISIS sympathizing Arab-Israeli men accused of attempting to build a tunnel from the Arab town of Tayibe across the Green Line into the West Bank, according to the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) Thursday.
The cell were “inspired by ISIS” and acted voluntarily, according to the release. Their plan was discovered while in its infancy, the cell had only managed to dig a few meters before being discovered.
If completed, the investigation revealed that the group had intended on using the tunnel for weapons smuggling into Israel, and “prepare for judgement day.”
One of the suspects had previously been detained in Turkey when attempting to cross over into Syria and participate in the ongoing civil war. Another had planned in recent months to arrive in Syria across the sea on an improvised pedal board.
The suspects were arrested on September 16, 2015, however the plot was only revealed to the public once the indictment was submitted…..

Just like the US, UK and French governments, Israelis are in bed with the very dangerous and barbaric ISIS and Al-Nusra terrorist groups in the Syrian war. Please watch in the video below as Israeli medics treat wounded ISIS fighters:

Christianblood, you are right and wrong.
Israelis help medically, Hamas people, and any other injured creatures who try to butcher them.
Christianblood says
Israel should not help wounded ISIS fighters. Period.

I have an idea!
Round up all the confirmed Jihadist you can find. Pack those tunnels full of captured Jihadist. Then detonate!
Solve two problems at once.
Get rid of dangerous criminal Jihadist AND destroy those tunnels at same time !
What could be simpler?

From the article -“… three ISIS sympathizing Arab-Israeli men..”.
No, they were “…three Israel-passport-holding MUSLIM men”.
The Muslim bit accounts for their interest in Islamic State.
The moment it was established that they were trying to go off and join Islamic State, they should have been let go… and then stripped of their Israeli citizenship status, since it is pretty clear that their primary loyalty and allegiance belongs to a hostile entity and that they have nothing but contempt for and ill-will towards the state of Israel.
