Authorities say Nashaf began consuming ISIS-related content on social media last summer and eventually made direct contact with operatives affiliated with the group. He allegedly swore allegiance to ISIS, considered himself a member, and was found in possession of items linked to the organization.
Superintendent Ohad Goldenberg, commander of the Sharon District Crime-Fighting Unit, said police and the Shin Bet had conducted a covert investigation leading to Nashaf’s arrest.

"As the investigation unfolded, it became clear that the suspect had also aided terrorist groups in Tulkarm, filming IDF forces during operations in the West Bank and even plotting attacks against them under the guidance of terrorists," Goldenberg said. "At the conclusion of the investigation, it was decided to file a severe indictment against the suspect for membership in a terrorist organization, assisting the enemy during wartime, and other offenses."
