Islamic State Planning To Attack Jewish Kindergartens
Whether it is killing a mother for breastfeeding in public or killing gay men by hurling them off buildings, the sociopathic behavior of the Islamic state is well-known all over the world. But to put all that to shame, the Islamic state is reported to be working on a plot to attack Jewish schools including the kindergartens.
Sky Newsreported that the militants from the Islamic state have advanced plans to murder Jewish children in Turkey, targeting kindergartens, schools, and youth centers.
The information traced by intelligence officials describes plans of an “imminent” attack. The information was obtained from six operatives from the caliphate who were arrested in the southern city of Gaziantep over the last week.
The Istanbul synagogue in Beyoglu is under red alert, as it is the most likely place for an attack. The synagogue also has a school and a community center attached to it.
The surfacing threats that are specifically targeting Jewish children follow the vicious attack on Istanbul on 19 March. The attack involved a suicide bomber killing five people, including four Israelis, in the largest city of Turkey.
“In light of these circumstances, extraordinary security measures are being taken above and beyond the high alert level already in place by the Turkish police, as well as vigilance within the Jewish community,” an intelligence source told Sky News.
The source also informed that undercover and other covert counter terrorism measures are being taken.
“This is a more than credible threat. This is an active plot,” the source added.
“The so-called Islamic State is believed to be behind both sets of attacks and the organisation continues in determined efforts to perpetrate further attacks in Turkey and elsewhere.” An intelligence report seen by Sky News detailed.
The marginally liberal Islamic nation of Turkey has welcomed a staggering number of refugees, close to three million. There is particularly strong evidence to support this claim, as several members of the Islamic group involved in Paris and Brussels attack may have ties with Turkey since it is easily accessible from the war troubled nation Syria.
The terrorists of European origin may be hiding themselves in the waves of asylum seeking refugees after the completion of their trainings in Syria.
Turkey, which was involved in a controversy after downing a Russian warplane, is now increasingly under pressure both from Islamic extremist groups and Kurdish separatists.
“We don’t know when it’s scheduled for. It could be in the next 24 hours or next few days,” the source said.

The source also added that the information about the Jewish community emerging as a target was the best they could extract.
More than 80 people have already lost their lives this year because of Islamic attacks. Israel has urged its citizens visiting Turkey to leave “as soon as possible,” predicting possible follow-up attacks, the Daily Mail reported.
The suspected attackers are the terrorists from the death cult, also known as Daesh. They are believed to have advanced plans to murder Jewish children in Turkey, Express reported.
As reported by The Independent, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called to step up attacks on the terror group after a suicide attack on the border town of Suruc killed 28 people in July last year.
