Over the past several days, two Israeli Arabs who left Israel a few months ago began uploading pictures and videos to their facebook profiles, showing them as new members of IS.

One of them has been especially active on Facebook lately, posting pictures of the two of them carrying machine guns and expressing his loyalty to jihad.

Originally, they were part of a group of four Israeli Arab men from Yafa an-Naseriyye in the Lower Galilee, who flew to Turkey together with the intention of crossing the border into Syria and joining the battles there. But while two of them returned to Israel shortly afterwards, the other two went missing and lost all contact with their friends and families.
