Prosecutors plan to indict a young man suspected of membership in the Islamic State and of maintaining contact with a foreign agent linked to the terror group, police announced on Wednesday.

The suspect, 20-year-old Kenan Azaiza, resides in the northern Arab town of Daburiyya. He was arrested alongside a second suspect, a resident of Acre, whom police did not name.

During his interrogation by Shin Bet and police investigators, it emerged that Azaiza had sworn loyalty to ISIS and expressed willingness to carry out attacks on Israeli security forces, police said. He also learned how to create pipe bombs and other explosives.

While in contact with the foreign agent, the pair made plans to travel to an enemy country in order to train under ISIS, police added.

The two suspects were arrested in recent weeks.

Azaiza is set to be indicted in the Nazareth District Court.
