December 31, 2003


Two brothers, Mohammed and Ahmed Shimali, from the northern village of Ghajar, are suspected of spying for Hezbollah, it was revealed yesterday, after Acre Magistrates Court lifted a gag order on their arrest.
Police and the Shin Ben security service arrested the brothers, aged 22 and 24, for allegedly passing on information to Hezbollah in exchange for drugs. They are suspected of giving the organization information on an army post at the entrance to a divided Israeli-Lebanese village.
It included the number of soldiers and the procedures for checking people leaving and entering the village. They are also suspected of giving the Hezbollah maps and other intelligence material.
One of the brothers admitted crossing the border into Lebanon, and meeting Hezbollah militants, with the help of a Lebanese drug dealer, in the village of Kila north of Metula.

In February this year 11 suspects, among them six members of the Kahmuz family, were arrested in the village on suspicion of spying for Hezbollah. According to the indictments against them, the cell leaders passed on information to the Hezbollah in exchange for four tons of drugs smuggled into Israel.

1. Now here's a difference
Arabs suspected by Israel of spying for Hezbollah and drug trading. Result: Arrest and trial

Arabs suspected by the PA of spying for Israel. Result: Immediate public execution with no trial

Says a lot.
