Two Israeli Arab activists have been arrested and charged with spying and making contact with Hezbollah of Lebanon. The men, Ameer Makhoul, 52, director of a charity, and Omar Said, 50, active in the political party Balad, were detained over the past couple of weeks but the military censor forbade reporting on the arrests until Monday. Lawyers for the men said that Israeli espionage laws were overly broad and that e-mail messages and telephone conversations with anyone in Lebanon were seen as cause for arrest.
