Israel indicts couple who travelled to Mosul to join ISIS

An Israeli court indicted an Arab Israeli couple on Thursday for joining the extremist Islamic State group with their three young children.

According to the charge sheet, Wissam Zbeidat, 41, and his wife Sabrine, 30, of the Arab town of Sakhnin travelled to Turkey while on a family vacation in Romania in 2015. From there, they slipped across the border into Syria. The indictment detailed that ISIS militants collected the family's Israeli passports and brought the new recruits to the Iraqi city of Mosul, an ISIS stronghold.

The indictment says Wissam Zbeidat underwent military and ideological training and was wounded while fighting in the ranks of ISIS against the Iraqi army.
