Israeli security forces have detained a Palestinian in East Jerusalem for allegedly joining the Daesh militant group.
Khalil Khalil, 24, travelled to Syria via Turkey, where he joined Daesh militants, Israel's internal Shin Bet security agency said Monday.
He was arrested by Shin Bet when he returned to Jerusalem after spending several weeks in Syria, Shin Bet added.
Khalil was indicted for joining an illegal organization, trying to communicate with a foreign agent, and attempting to leave the country illegally.
Israel designated Daesh an "illegal organization" last October.
According to Israeli figures, some 40 Palestinians and Israeli-Arabs have joined Deash in Syria and Iraq.
Daesh overran vast swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq last year, prompting the United States and its allies to launch an air campaign against the militant group.
