By ETGAR LEFKOVITS
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A 29-year-old Israeli Arab convicted of giving information to Hizbullah was sentenced by a Petah Tikva court Wednesday to four years in jail.
Khaled Kashkush, a resident of Kalansuwa, was arrested in July upon landing at Ben-Gurion Airport on a return visit from Germany, where he had been studying for the last few years. He was subsequently indicted and convicted of contact with a foreign agent and of passing information to the enemy.
According to the charge sheet, Kashkush met with Hizbullah operatives starting in 2002 and was paid €13,000 for his services.”
