The suspect was indicted on Tuesday for maintaining contact with a foreign enemy agent.

The suspect said that Hizbullah ordered her to transfer cellular phones and USB keys to Hizbullah agents in Israel. A number of weeks after her recruitment, the suspect completed her studies in Jordan and prepared to return to Israel. She was given a portable computer hard disk that she was supposed to pass on to other operatives in Israel.
The suspect visited Jordan a number of times in 2004, and she continued to contact her recruiter from 2005 to 2007.
