An Arab Israeli was arrested last month by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) after she was allegedly recruited by the Hizbullah in Jordan, officials announced on Tuesday.

The suspect was arrested on June 30 at the Allenby Bridge as she crossed back into Israel from Jordan. During her interrogation she confessed that she offered to join the ranks of Hizbullah during her dental studies at the Amman University in 2003, after being approached by a fellow female student who introduced herself as a recruiter for Hizbullah.

The suspect said that as a Hizbullah agent, she was to be given cell phone memory chips and disk on key memory cards which she was to transfer to Hizbullah operatives in Israel.

A number of weeks after her initial recruitment, the suspect completed her studies in Jordan and prepared to return to Israel. She was given a portable hard disk for a computer, which she was supposed to pass on to other operatives in Israel.

The suspect continued to visit Jordan a number of times in 2004, and she continued to contact her recruiter from 2005 to 2007.
