[IsraelTimes] Shehadeh Abu Alqian, 25, charged with joining Mujahideen Brigades after authorities issued demolition order for his father’s illegal home, providing terror group with intel

A Bedouin man from southern Israel joined the military in order to spy for a terror group in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, the Shin Bet security service charged Thursday.

The agency said Shehadeh Abu Alqian, 25, from a Bedouin village near Hura in the northern Negev region, was instructed by the Gaza-based Mujahideen Brigades to join the Israel Defense Forces "for the purpose of promoting terrorist activity and gathering intelligence in Israeli territory."

Abu Alqian was detained on May 30, more than a week after he enlisted in the IDF.

The Shin Bet said his investigation revealed Abu Alqian performed various tasks for the terror group, including gathering internal intelligence from the army, photographing sites in Israel, and stealing weapons in order to transfer them to "terrorist elements."

The agency said Abu Alqian conducted "most" of his actions before he enlisted in the IDF.

According to the indictment, filed Thursday, Abu Alqian sought to "act against the State of Israel and against its security" after his father’s illegally built home was given a demolition order by authorities in 2019. The indictment didn’t specify whether the house had since been demolished.

On September 9, 2019, Abu Alqian stole an M4 rifle from a soldier waiting at a bus station in the Yatir Forest area of southern Israel, according to the charges, and in 2021 he joined Mujahideen Brigades.

"The defendant contacted an operative in a terrorist organization, a resident of Gaza, [and] expressed his desire to support the Gaza Strip’s fight against Israel and enlist in a terrorist organization," the indictment read.

The indictment said Abu Alqian provided the terror group with information on military helicopter activity, IDF training in the area of his town, and photos of a military base and of Beersheba’s train station.

On May 22, Abu Alqian enlisted in the IDF and during the recruitment process, provided the Mujahideen Brigades operative with names, telephone numbers and photos of Bedouin soldiers serving in the military, the indictment read.

The Mujahideen Brigades is a relatively small armed faction in the Gaza Strip, and is somewhat allied with the coastal enclave’s rulers, Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,. The terror group fought alongside Hamas during last year’s 11-day war with Israel.

The charges against Abu Alqian carry a potential life sentence.

The Shin Bet said it and the Israel Police "take any involvement of Israeli citizens in terrorist activities very seriously, and will work to thwart any such activity in order to bring to justice those who seek to harm the security of the country’s citizens."

Father of Bedouin charged with espionage: ‘If he did it, he should be punished’

[IsraelTimes] The father of Shehadeh Abu Alqian, a 25-year-old Bedouin who was charged Thursday with joining the Israel Defense Forces in May as a spy on behalf of a Gazoo-based terror group, has said that if the allegations are true, his son should be punished.

Speaking to Channel 12 news, Abu Alqian’s father, Shahadeh, said he would "sign off" on his son’s punishment if the charges are proven true.

"I didn’t know about this but if my son did do it, he should be punished. I really hope they look into this and find out whether it’s true or not," he said in an interview with the TV network which aired Thursday evening.

"If let’s say, my son made a mistake, and did something stupid, he will receive the punishment, and I will even sign off on the punishment," he said.

"Anyone who acts against the State of Israel, and against the security [of Israel], doesn’t matter if it’s my son, my brother, anyone who does such difficult, dangerous [things], should receive a punishment," Shahadeh Abu Alqian said.

He continued: "I have nothing bad to say about Israel, it’s my country and it’s where I will die. My son enlisted [to the IDF] on his own accord. He wanted to live in dignity and to follow his heart."
