The Jerusalem District Attorney's Office filed an indictment in the city district court against Ahmed Zahara, 32, a resident of Jerusalem who worked for the Hezbollah organization in Israel.
According to the indictment, about nine years ago the defendant contacted a released prisoner living in Lebanon and told him that he was interested in contacting people from Hezbollah in order to work for them in Israel. He received encryption software from the organization so that he could keep in touch with them.
During the period, the defendant kept in touch with his operatives, sometimes traveling to Ramallah, in order to make contact with his operatives through an encryption program in order to evade security forces in Israel. As part of the relationship between the defendant and Hezbollah, he was asked to perform various tasks, including transmitting updates on the situation in Jerusalem in Judea and Samaria and reporting on disturbances that occurred in Jerusalem.
