Jordanian newspaper A-Rai reports that Jordanian intelligence last February thwarted an attempted shooting attack by a ISIS-affiliated group to kill Israeli soldiers on the border between the two countries.
According to the report, the four were friends and supporters of the ISIS terrorist organization and worked to spread the organization's ideology. According to the indictment, they decided that a terrorist act was necessary to sow fear and terror and to make publicity for the terrorist organization.
The Jordanian newspaper reports that the intelligence arm in the Hashemite kingdom has revealed the squad and its intentions and arrested its members before they were able to carry out their plan. The squad members intended to exchange fire with the Jordanian Border Police and then reach out to Israeli soldiers and kill them.
Squad members are accused of conspiracy to commit a terrorist act. Their case is being heard in the State Security Court.
