Schoolteachers among six in Israel charged with supporting ISIS

Six men have been arrested on suspicion of supporting ISIS in Israel, following an investigation by Israeli security and counterterror forces.

The men were indicted on charges of supporting a terrorist organization, possessing and distributing advertising materials of an illegal group, and conspiracy, among other accusations, according to a written statement from police spokeswoman Luba Samri.

Among the six suspects: four schoolteachers, one of whom taught at an elementary school in Hura. According to police, the man took "every opportunity" to teach his young students about ISIS.

Police say the teacher would sing songs praising ISIS in class, express his support for the terrorist organization, and show students map drawings of the self-proclaimed Islamic State -- the group's preferred moniker, and also the way it refers to its wide swath of territory across Syria and Iraq.
