Nazareth resident, 19, charged with spying for Hezbollah during war

The Shin Bet and the Israel Police say that they have arrested and charged a 19-year-old resident of the northern city of Nazareth with spying for Hezbollah during the war.

The man, identified as Mohammad Sa’adi, was detained last month after a probe found that he had contacted Hezbollah several times and asked to join the group and fight for it.

He also contacted the Hezbollah-affiliated al-Manar station and sent it photos and videos during the course of the conflict, the statement says.

During the war, Sa’adi sent Hezbollah information on rocket impact locations, aircraft movements, and IDF troop locations.

Charges were filed against Sa’adi today accusing him of being in contact with a foreign agent.
