WASHINGTON (CNN) -- An 84-year-old retired military engineer from New Jersey was arrested early Tuesday and charged with sending highly classified military information to Israel through an operative who also served as handler for convicted spy Jonathan Pollard.
Ben-Ami Kadish, a U.S. citizen and engineer employed at a military arsenal in Dover, New Jersey, supplied secrets to Israel from 1979 through 1985, according to a court document unsealed Tuesday.
Kadish is accused of providing secrets that dealt with nuclear weapons, the F-15 plane and the Patriot defense missile system.
At a court hearing Tuesday afternoon, Kadish was released on a $300,000 property bond. He was required to surrender his passport and will be allowed to travel only in New York and New Jersey.

Although it is highly unlikely that prosecutors would consider it, the most serious of the four counts carries a potential death penalty. That charge of transmitting defense secrets "with the intent and reason to believe that they would be used to the injury of the United States and to the advantage of a foreign nation" usually carries lengthy sentences up to life in prison.
