Jebara was allegedly involved in a campaign to intimidate political rivals. In early 2008 members of the Arab National Bloc and the National Movement for Development and Reform in Saladin accused Jebara and Major Ahmed Fahal, the head of the Saladin Police Department Counterterrorism Unit, of political harassment. The two were accused of shutting offices belonging to the parties without warning, detaining office guards, and verbally threatening party members.
