NEWSRAEL: While this is breaking news and many details are either unknown or banned by the security censor, we are able to infer from the lawyer who is an Israeli-Arab and known to be the defense for Israeli Arab security cases, that this will be the case here also.

The suspect, a 40-year-old Haifa resident, was detained for a day and then released under house arrest under restrictive conditions. Although the house arrest has been extended, she will be able to continue to attend the Technion. The judge at the hearing: "There has been progress in the investigation. This is a very serious offense and there is a fear that the suspect will endanger public safety."

A doctoral student at the Technion was arrested by the GSS on suspicion of contact with a foreign agent. The suspect, a 40-year-old Haifa resident, was detained for a day and then released under restrictive conditions.

In the past, the suspect worked for the refineries and also served as the director of emission permits for sensitive factories in Haifa Bay, in the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

The Magistrate's Court in Haifa held a hearing last night (Thursday) in which the police were informed that there was a development in the investigation. "There are materials from which no products have yet been produced. They are very huge and we are working on them," said Sergeant Arnon Davidian on behalf of the Central District Central Unit. He added that "this is a very serious offense, contact with a foreign agent for the day".

Lawyer Khaled Mahagna, representing the doctoral student, today appealed the decision to the Haifa District Court. On Sunday, Judge Nasser Jahshan will hold a hearing on the matter.
