2 Arab Israelis suspected of aiding Hamas
Brothers Amir Asaad, 29, and Mahmad Asaad, 20, were arrested by the Shin Bet and police last month and their interrogation revealed that they were actively involved with terrorists planning attacks on both sides of the 1967 border.
Several Hamas operatives who were in contact with the brothers were also arrested. The Hamas men admitted to the charges, incriminated the brothers and handed in the weapons that were to be used in carrying out their terror attacks, including shooting attacks on settlers, IDF vehicles and soldiers.
The indictment filed against the brothers in the Nazareth District Court charges them with contact with a foreign agent, weapons charges, aiding and abetting an enemy at wartime.
The Shin Bet said that "the arrest of those involved has led to the thwarting of their activities before they managed to carry out their plans, but the incident demonstrates the potential threat of exploiting Arab-Israelis and recruiting them to terror initiatives and as inter-regional middlemen for terror cells."

Good job Shin Bet. The last thing needed is an Israeli Hamas cell.
