Akron Beacon Journal: Israel accuses Ohio college professor accused of spying
An Ohio college professor has been accused by Israel of spying for Hezbollah and Iran, his lawyer and Israeli government officials in the United States told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Ghazi Falah, a geography professor at the University of Akron in Ohio, has not been charged with a crime but remains in an Israeli jail. He was arrested July 8 in northern Israel, but Israeli officials and Falah’s lawyer, Husein abu-Husein, were prohibited by an Israeli court from saying why.
