Israeli intelligence chief's brother charged with smuggling goods into Gaza

The brother of Israel's Shin Bet domestic intelligence chief has been indicted on charges related to smuggling goods into the Gaza Strip. Bezalel Zini is accused of 'assisting the enemy in wartime' for his alleged role in a cigarette smuggling ring.

The Shin Bet agency itself has described the smuggling phenomenon as a major security risk. The indictment comes as the agency is urging a broader crackdown on the flow of goods into Gaza.
