Spanish authorities have arrested seven individuals in a series of anti-jihadist operations across Toledo, Pontevedra, and Madrid.

The suspects, all under 33 years old, are accused of spreading ISIS propaganda and engaging in self-radicalization.

Investigations revealed they used sports activities, such as calisthenics, and social media to recruit and indoctrinate others.

Among the arrested is a 21-year-old student who influenced peers both in person and online.

Two suspects are in custody, while others face restrictions.

Officials acted swiftly to prevent further radicalization, highlighting the growing threat of youth involvement in extremist activities.
