ISIS targets Jewish youths in 'imminent' attack

'Undercover and other covert counter-terror measures are being implemented around the clock.'

ISIS is known for its barbarity, but news of the terrorist group's next target leaves many unsettled.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to Sky News, intelligence officials have described an "imminent" attack six ISIS operatives admitted to be on its way.

The likely target is a synagogue in Beyoglu, which is host to a community center, kindergartens, elementary schools and youth centers.

An intelligence source admitted the exact location of the impending attack remains unclear but promised "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."

The source added the threat was "more than credible" and reported, "Undercover and covert counter-terror measures are being implemented around the clock."

Afer accepting nearly 3,000,000 refugees, Turkey has become a hot zone for terror attacks.

News of people traveling to Turkey to join ISIS and of the terrorist organization using Russian tourists as human shields has spread across the West, painting a disturbing image of Turkey's terrorist crisis.

News of the impending attack follows several deadly incidents in the country, where religious minorities are often the targets of crime.

The unnamed official admitted the attack could take place at any time and authorities have already begun preparations for thwarting possible threats.
