A man accused of sharing violent videos and propaganda linked to several terrorist groups has been granted bail.

Ghassan Eltatary, 51, faced Southport Magistrates Court on the Gold Coast on Wednesday after being arrested by Australian Federal Police and Queensland Police.

The Pacific Pines man allegedly possessed and shared violent videos and propaganda messages linked to the Hamas, Hezbollah, Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Ansar Allah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organisations. 

Police allege the material was shared with friends and family members through an encrypted social platform.

Eltatary was charged with one count ofusing a carriage service for violent extremist material and six counts of possessing or controlling violent extremist material.

He faces a maximum penalty of five years' imprisonment for each offence if convicted.

Eltatary was granted bail following his court appearance, with his case due to return to court on August 3.

He is the second person arrested as part of a joint investigation by Queensland Police, federal police and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation.

The investigation began after Australian Border Force officers intercepted Eltatary following his return to Australia from the United Arab Emirates in October 2025. 

During an examination of Eltatary's mobile phone, officers allegedly located suspected violent extremist material, and the device was later seized for forensic examination.

Investigators executed a search warrant at a Pacific Pines home on November 13, 2025.

During the search, alleged violent extremist material was located on an electronic device and a 19-year-old man, Mohamed Ghassan Eltatary, was charged with five offences.

The student pilot faced Southport Magistrates Court in November accused of sharing "pro-Hamas and anti-Semitic" videos, including terrorist bodycam footage of the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel, on the Discord group chat application.

Mohamed Eltatary was also accused of searching online for how to purchase knives, mass stabbings and shootings, .50 calibre bullets, how to purchase a Hamas headband and the location of Israel's embassy in Australia.

"The material is disturbing and confronting," Magistrate Louisa Pink said at the time.

The teenager was later released on bail.
