The defendant described an obsessive consumption of various appeal materials and combat content. According to him, since 2014, many publications about an Islamic state have begun, and the well-edited light has aroused great curiosity in him and attracted him to watch them. According to him, since those days, he frequently browsed Islamic State websites, with an emphasis on the "Ra'ud" website, whose content has developed an obsession to the point of addiction.
The defendant further told Aya that in the last few months prior to his arrest, the website "Ra'ud" had turned to browsing through the TOR app , and therefore he switched to browsing through this app. In addition, he downloaded the Telegram application, through which he began to consume much content related to the war in Gaza, and also viewed content on Israeli Telegram that he deleted due to anti-Arab remarks.
His remarks indicate that as of October 7, 2023, the frequency of his consumption of violent content has intensified to the point of his addiction to ISIS content.
The defendant described that he also frequently searched for "anasheed" (hymns; songs dealing with religious issues and praises of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad, and intended to convey moral and social messages in the spirit of Islam), and videos on TikTok and went from link to link in a very obsessive manner.
The defendant told Aya that the videos from Gaza had influenced him and greatly exacerbated his nationalist outlook, including the frequency of his consumption of Islamic State content on the "Ra'ud" website and through the "TOR" app, to the point of extreme.
According to him, because he was not mentally balanced during the relevant period, his perceptions exacerbated and led him to carry out a lawsuit, after which he saw himself belonging to the Islamic State, according to the investigation memorandum (P/14):
"3. I asked the subject whether this was the period in which he made a claim, and the defendant answered in the affirmative.

- I asked the subject where he had sent it. The subject responded in WhatsApp messages.
- I asked the subject to try to locate the messages in his Teles.
- The subject agreed, and searched for the notice in the Teles, but could not find it.
- In the period after 07/10, he gave a "bi'a" to Khalikh "Abu Khafs", ever since he saw himself as belonging to the Madas:
- Further to the above, in the period after 07/10, the officer in question expressed his opinions and worldviews.

Later in the investigation, the defendant found on the Teles a correspondence of him dated March 11, 2024, with a contact person named Bilal Shabari (whose name is in Hebrew). The content of the correspondence between the two raises a conversation about the new caliph, during which the defendant asks Bilal if he gave a "statement," and Bilal responds that he will first see the caliph and then decide.
- From all of the aforesaid, it appears that in the first interrogation by Aya, the defendant admitted that he had searched the Internet for information about explosives, explosive belts and explosives; He admitted that he had downloaded various files on these topics, including instructional files for making explosives, and explained that he had done so out of curiosity, although he had not read much of the material. The defendant reiterated that he had spoken with his friends, Tamer and Ahmad Faluga, about a different appeal as he had told interrogators Regev and Marco, as well as about his claim that these conversations were "joking."
The defendant admitted for the first time to making a "statement" while detailing to Aya the circumstances under which he made the statement (his mental state and his ideological opinions that were exacerbated after October 7), and the circumstances of making the statement, including: the date: after October 7, which was a turning point and an extreme of his opinions and ideological outlook, as stated; The identity of the leader: He said that he had sworn an oath to the Caliph "Abu Khafs", a different leader of Da'ar'ar at the time; He corrected the wording of the expression to one of his friends in Germany, Tamer or Ahmad;
