| [Al Arabiya Latest] An Israeli Arab who belonged to the same health club as Israel's military chief was accused on Monday of passing information about him to Lebanese group Hezbollah. Rawi Fuad Sultani, 23, admitted he met a Hezbollah activist in a summer camp in Morocco one year ago and told him he had information on Lieutenant-General Gabi Ashkenazi, who worked out at the same gym as he did in the town of Kfar Saba. The allegations raised more questions about security around Ashkenazi, two weeks after authorities disclosed that his credit card details and a gun in his office had been stolen by a soldier, now under arrest. Sultani later met a second Hezbollah agent in Poland and gave him information about access to the health club and security arrangements for Ashkenazi there, the indictment said. |
