الانقسام بالهوية الوطنية [0:42]
The host explains the decision to retreat temporarily after witnessing incitement and gloating, some of which bordered on treason, both within and outside the resistance. The host criticizes the judiciary's failures and the tailoring of truth to serve individual interests. The host points out the division in the country and the lack of a unified national identity, where some consider the country their property and others as outsiders.

أسئلة ما بعد الحرب [2:43]
The host resumes working on investigations, emphasizing the necessity of spreading awareness in light of inaction and complicity. A review is needed to learn from past experiences. The host advocates for Hezbollah to establish a commission of inquiry, similar to Israel's Winograd Commission after the July War, to investigate security breaches. This investigation should be transparent and address the causes of the breaches that led to the deaths of resistance leaders and the destruction of weapons facilities. The host also mentions the Pagers operation, which injured over 3,000 young resistance members, and stresses the importance of accountability. While acknowledging Hezbollah's sensitivity on the subject, the host argues that necessity and the greater good require addressing these issues.

كيف قُبض على محمد؟ [12:40]
The episode transitions to detailing how Mohammed Saleh was apprehended. Saleh was arrested by chance on April 28th. Another suspect, A.M., was discovered at the time and fled to Erbil. Saleh, who worked in the stock exchange and had been previously expelled from Hezbollah, was caught when he failed to pay back money he owed to a Wish branch in Ghobeiry. The owner of the shop tracked him down and pressed him for the money. When Saleh couldn't secure the funds, the shop owner went through his emails and found messages from someone named Lewis, requesting information about the "organization's" facilities, motorcycles, and individuals. The two men reported this to Hezbollah, and Saleh admitted to being recruited in Iraq. He had applied to rejoin Hezbollah after the war. Attorney Qassem Al Diqa informed the police, who arrested Saleh.
تفاصيل التجنيد [20:11]
The defendant admitted to communicating with the Mossad since October 2024 after interacting with a Facebook post titled "Were you formerly a member of Hezbollah?". To verify their identity, the Israeli side asked him to send a numerical code to the official IDF Facebook account, which they then sent back to him. He communicated with two operators, Mohsen and Abu Dawood, and a third person named Ali. They asked him for information about his previous formations in Unit 4500 and his service in Aleppo, Syria. Mohammed claimed he was tasked with rejoining Hezbollah to work in the Central Personnel unit. He had previously been transferred to Unit 1100, the Preventive Security Unit, for rehabilitation before returning to Unit 4100. Emails from an account named Lewis contained requests for information, and Saleh's replies included videos. He seemed primarily interested in receiving money in exchange for information.

القضاء يتّهم صالح بالعمالة [22:34]
Mohammed's father is a long-standing and devout member of Hezbollah. The host emphasizes that if Mohammed Saleh is proven guilty, he alone should bear the responsibility.

The investigation is ongoing, and new information may emerge.
