At least two Israeli settlers have been arrested in occupied al-Quds for allegedly passing on information to contacts in the Hezbollah resistance movement during the Israeli aggression against Lebanon.

The Israeli Attorney’s Office filed an indictment against the pair, who allegedly made contact with operatives from the Lebanese group and sent news articles about the security situation in Israel. 

According to the indictment, Abd al-Salam Qawasameh and Taar Asili were in contact via a WhatsApp group with a Hezbollah operative. The pair also allegedly were asked to speak with a senior Hezbollah intelligence officer. 

They are now charged with “contact with a foreign agent” and passing information to the enemy. 

Qawasameh was also hit with weapons offenses after he took a photo with an assault rifle that belonged to a Palestinian gunman during a visit to the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. 

They are also accused of sending photos and videos from Caesarea, where the Israeli regime’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a private residence.  

Qawasameh sent to the Hezbollah handler photos from the coastal town of Caesarea and Asili sent her news articles about Israel and the security situation, the indictment says. 

The prosecution has asked a district court in occupied al-Quds to have them kept in custody until the end of the legal proceedings. 

Last month, Israeli media reported that the Shin Bet arrested several suspects in Netanyahu's office on charges of leaking highly classified information related to the genocidal war on Gaza.

Several suspects were arrested concerning a leak of classified documents from the prime minister's office (PMO). A report from Ynet back then stated that one of those arrested was a spokesman who worked with the PMO.

Back in October, Israeli prosecutors said authorities had arrested seven Jewish settlers from the northern part of the occupied territories on charges of carrying out tasks for Iran and gathering information on the regime’s strategic installations.

Hezbollah had been responding to the Israeli aggression against Lebanon with hundreds of successful retaliatory strikes on various sensitive and strategic military targets across the occupied territories.

The Lebanese resistance movement announced than 100 Israeli troops have been killed and upwards of a thousand others injured during the strikes.

Regional resistance groups say the ceasefire Israel eventually clinched with Hezbollah has shattered Netanyahu’s “illusion” of reshaping West Asia by force.

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati recently censured Israel for its daily violations of the 60-day ceasefire agreement, asserting that the regime is not meeting its obligations.
