Israeli authorities are probing a multi-suspect security case involving the alleged smuggling of goods from inside Israel into the Gaza Strip, the Ashkelon Magistrate’s Court revealed on Thursday after partially lifting a sweeping gag order on the investigation.

According to Israel Police and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), the probe concerns dozens of items allegedly transferred clandestinely for financial gain. One of the suspects is a relative of Shin Bet chief David Zini, though law enforcement and the court stressed that there is no indication that the Shin Bet head himself is implicated in the alleged wrongdoing.

The decision, authored by Ashkelon Magistrate’s Court Judge Yaniv Ben Harush, partially acceded to requests by journalists and media organizations to scale back a blanket publication ban initially imposed on December 20.
