⋯ His first payment was 2,500 USD and he was asked to provide information about his family, friends, neighbours, and his whole neighborhood...Hay Al Selloum. He was asked about political and military affiliation of these people and about any Hezbullah centers.

Amir shared information about the Hezbullah centers there and the names of its officials that attend these places. He was then asked to find information about two building compounds in Haret Hreik and find out who from Hezbullah lives there. Additionally, he was tasked with finding the entrances and taking photos, which he was too afraid to do.

Amir was later asked to get details about the shops around the buildings, and to find information about the entrances to Sayed Al Shuhada compound. It serves as a place where Hezbullah performs its religious gatherings. The Mossad asked about special or hidden entry doors. They also asked if the security personnel carry weapons, and what their level of training was.

⋯ Additionally, Amir claims the Mossad offered him 15,000 USD for any information about Hezbullah's Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and 10,000 USD for information about his deputy Naim Qassem. They also asked about religious speaker Sheikh Ali Sleem.

Throughout the remaining period, he was tasked with taking photographs of countless places around Dahyeh. In total, he was paid less than 6,000 USD and was handed the money from a Syrian who owned a clothes shop in Hay al-Selloum.

Amir was one the least impactful spies to be arrested, due to his lack of knowledge about anything and his failure to provide non-public information.

The information he gave is public, available online, or known by locals as open information.

Israel bullying Orthodox Christians is apparent in Holy Week

Today's Holy Fire Saturday in the Julian calendar was tarnished by Israel drastically limiting access to the Holy Sepulchre Church, cancelling permits for Gaza Christians, imposing a booking system, and deploying 200 IDF troops & border police inside the church, some of them displaying their kippa!

Unprecedented, except for COVID-19, «the restrictions include a limit of 2,000 on the number of worshippers (down from 10,000 in previous years), 200 police stationed inside the church, and security checkpoints throughout the Old City (impeding access for worshippers and the subsequent procession)», warned World Council of Churches on 12 ⁠April. Israel cites safety concerns, but church leaders slammed “heavy-handed and unnecessary restrictions” and blamed instead the “growing threat” of extremists in Israeli society.

The Greek Orthodox and Armenian Patriarchates have vowed not to comply. “The ceremony will be held as customary for two millennia.”

⋯ As noted last week by Al-Jazeera: «Since 2005, Christian celebrations around Holy Week, particularly Holy Fire Saturday, have brought military barricades and harsh treatment from soldiers and settlers alike [...]. Incidents against Christians in Jerusalem have reportedly become more violent and common.»

Extremist Jewish settlers often spit on priests and nuns («a daily occurrence»), take down Christian symbols, hammer statues of Jesus, attack priests with iron bars, but the «police do little to investigate, and dismiss or minimise the religious motivations behind these attacks». Under threat, Christians in Jerusalem are «currently about 10,000, or just over 1% of the city’s population, compared with a quarter [25%] a century ago».
