2004-03-04 Two Israeli Arab brothers from the Galilee were arrested this morning on suspicion of relaying information and weapons to Palestinian terrorist cells in Jenin on behalf of Hezbollah. A Fatah base in Jordan reportedly recruited the brothers to work for a Hezbollah operative living in Jordan. Mohammed Kanana, 39, and Majid Hussam Kanana, 33, are senior members of the Sons of the Village Movement, a radical secular movement on the fringe of the Israeli Arab sector, established in the 1970’s.
Majid admitted that he transferred electric goods from Jordan to Hezbollah operative Ibrahim Ajwa in Jenin. Majid was able to send the goods via Lans al-Aziz, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine; Al-Aziz has since been arrested by security forces and is incarcerated in Israel.
A SD computer memory card containing Hezbollah’s instructions on the preparation of weapons, explosives and rockets was hidden within the electric products that Majid was unable to smuggle to terrorist cells in Jenin. Majid and Mohammed received between $10,000 and $12,000 dollars for their service to Hezbollah. The Kanana brothers will be indicted at the Haifa Magistrates court.
