Summary
Hamdan Hamdan, 32, from Majd al-Krum, was arrested by Shin Bet and Israel Police on suspicion of security offenses tied to contact with a Lebanese foreign agent.
Investigators said he was in contact for months with a woman he knew was from Lebanon, who directed him to carry out security-related tasks.
The agent allegedly tried to pay him by buying products in Israel and transferring them to him, according to the Shin Bet and Lahav 433 investigation.
The Haifa District State Attorney's Office is expected to move the case to indictment on Sunday, Sept. 20, as Israeli agencies again warned that hostile actors are recruiting Israelis through social media for espionage and terror missions.
