In February, after possibly being tipped off by an IDF soldier, al-Maket produced a video in which he described - without showing it - a nighttime meeting between the IDF and al-Nusra commanders. The Golani activist then arranged for the video to be aired on Syrian state TV. That was the last straw for the Israeli security apparatus. They could tolerate pro-Syria social media agitprop, but using the Syrian media to embarrass the IDF went one step too far. I reported in my blog in late February, based on a confidential Israeli source, that al-Maket had been secretly arrested by the Shabak. His arrest was placed under gag. Outside of Syrian media, I was the only journalist who revealed his arrest. No Israeli media could report anything regarding the case." (thanks Asa)
