Alaa Bashir is a 23-years-old Palestinian woman from a village near Kalkilya, who joined ISIS through “Telegram” and was planning to execute a terror attack in Israel, but was arrested by Palestinian authorities beforehand for “attempting to shake regional stability,” Ynet reported on Sunday.

According to the exclusive report by a Palestinian official to Ynet, Bashir joined ISIS who then taught her through manuals sent through the internet, how to assemble large explosive devices, which she could strap to herself and commit a suicide terror attack in the heart of Israeli territory.

Public campaigns to free Bashir forced the Palestinian authorities to publish an announcement explaining that Bashir was arrested for “attempting to shake regional stability” and now the details become clearer.

Bashir had expressed her support of Al-Qaeda in the past before joining ISIS, the report claims. The report also states that prior to her arrest, Bashir suffered from harsh social problems, which pushed her to the decision to end her life in a terror attack.

Bashir’s arrest is not the first time that Palestinian authorities thwart planned terror attacks against Israel, as earlier reports claim that the authorities cleared roads from explosive devices and arrested terrorists who planned attacks in Israel.
