Experts noted that such operations are normal, given that Hezbollah is working on behalf of Iran, which is trying to obtain intelligence related to Israel, and appear capable of penetrating Israeli security.
Hezbollah, which is on the terrorism list in the United States and other countries, had recruited a woman from East Jerusalem to spy on its behalf, as Yasmine Jaber faces trial in Israel for her relationship with the party.
Israel’s Prosecutor’s Office accused Jaber of working for Hezbollah and seeking to recruit more Israeli Arabs by working with the party, which was widely classified as a terrorist, in addition to charges related to illegal departure from the country, according to the “Times of Israel” newspaper. “.
Jaber denied these charges, and her attorney claimed that she was interrogated for twenty hours a day weeks ago, in addition to being denied legal advice.
Jaber did not deny that she visited Lebanon, according to her lawyer, Omar Khamisi, who said that “trying to accuse her of leaving the country illegally would be ridiculous.”
Attorney Khamisi explained that “traveling to Lebanon is not a crime”, noting that this trip was not secret and that the authorities knew about it after questioning her on her return.
“This event does not pose any threat to Israel and its interests as the defendant does not have any confidential intelligence information,” former Israeli Military Intelligence Unit 504 officer Yair Rafid told Al-Hurra.
He added: “It is natural for Hezbollah to carry out these operations, as it serves Iranian interests as one of Iran’s subjects in the region (…). This call is very reasonable and does not occur for the first time and certainly it won’t be the last. “
Regarding the reasons for the tendency of some to work for the benefit of foreign entities hostile to Israel, Rafid said: “Some have the dream of liberating Palestine, while others resort to these actions for financial reasons. Some are willing to work with Satan for money “.
He added that “Hezbollah will pay the price in the long run. Israel has no hostility to the Shiites of Lebanon, except after the existence of this organization that came to serve the agenda of Iran and Syria.”
The professor of political science at the Hebrew University, Meir Masry, goes in the same direction, after saying that it is an “old method”.
An Egyptian told Al-Hurra that Hezbollah espionage cases do not affect the interior of Israel and cannot pose a danger at home, indicating that Israel can protect itself.
“The real danger for Israel is Iran and its nuclear record,” he added.
