Israel accuses Palestinian of spying for Hezbollah

By Associated Press

POSTED:



JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's Shin Bet internal security agency says a Palestinian man has been charged with relaying information to Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon about sensitive government sites, including parliament.

It identified the suspect as Azzam Mashahara, a resident of east Jerusalem, which Israel captured in 1967.

Palestinian residents of east Jerusalem, unlike Palestinians from the West Bank or Gaza Strip, have Israeli identity cards that allow them to travel freely within Israel.

The agency said the indictment was handed down on Sunday, a day after Mashahara was arrested.

All of the sites identified in the Shin Bet agency statement appear on Google Earth. Mashahara was charged with maintaining contacts with a foreign agent and relaying information to the enemy.

The eyes are upon Israel. No matter what they do....some of us say its wrong. They have a right to protect themselves. Continued pushing and they'll erupt onto another (6) day war. Then what ?? Do we send help and have our forces killed ?? Do we take the high road and "talk" peace while others continue and eat away the right exist ?? What ever happens, we must not send our people there to get wiped out !!

And what if the roles where reversed? What if the U.S. needed their help in such a situation, would we want them to not help us? America is better than that, we would need to help.
