I'll admit to not knowing that and only know them for their more common association - so thank you for highlighting that. I suspect you might be reading some of the same articles I am and it is difficult to know where the truth actually is.
Reported Facts
- Two adult males travelling with their 9 children ages 8 to 19; no adult females travelling
- The two adult males were brothers
- Facebook account connected with the family address references taliban and al-qaeda
- One of the adult males had been previously refused entry in to Tel Aviv and deported
The mail online is also reporting some 'facts' i've not read elsewhere and I only include them for additional reference;
- Email sent from 'family' computer sympathising with Al Qaeda
- The brother was actually detained in Tel Aviv for 8 days before being ejected from the country
