Jerusalem prosecutors have filed an indictment against Tarek Oweda, a 53-year-old resident of Jerusalem, for alleged contact with a foreign agent. The indictment states that approximately a year ago, Oweda applied to join a Telegram group named "The Resistance," where the foreign agent was active. The two reportedly communicated every two weeks. During their exchanges, the agent allegedly asked Oweda to photograph various locations in Jerusalem for payment, including Jewish residential neighborhoods and sites belonging to security forces and the police. At the agent's request, Oweda also downloaded a special encrypted application to his phone for secure communication.
