A resident of East Jerusalem was arrested last month on suspicion of having been in contact with members of Hezbollah and various other terror groups, the Israel Police and Shin Bet said in a joint statement Thursday.
The suspect, a 32-year-old from the predominantly Paleostinian neighborhood of Issawiya, was arrested on December 25 and handed to the Shin Bet for questioning.
He was not named in the statement.

or its Lebanese proxy terror group Hezbollah have worked to recruit Israeli residents for espionage or to carry out attacks.
Over the course of the investigation, the police and Shin Bet said the suspect revealed that he had been in frequent contact with Hezbollah operatives over several years, and was part of an online Hezbollah-affiliated group calling itself the "Resistance® Axis."
Among those he contacted was a Hezbollah operative abroad who had previously recruited other East Jerusalem residents to assist the terror group, the security bodies said, adding that several of the operative’s past recruitees have been apprehended and indicted by Israel in recent months.
Though the statement did not name the Hezbollah contact abroad, described as female, a previous similar case identified a woman using the name "Dania."
The suspect was in contact with some of the recruited operatives in East Jerusalem and shared with them information about "sensitive sites" that he had photographed, the statement said.
The suspect has also visited Jenin, in the West Bank, to meet with terror operatives from other groups. The statement added that while there, the suspect posed for photographs alongside weapons belonging to the groups.
An indictment is expected to be filed against him in the near future, it added.
