In a first publication by journalist Li Aish, excerpts from the interrogation of Nissan Aviv, the Bat Yam spy suspect, reveal that Aviv admitted he realized his handler was Iranian but continued providing information. When asked how he explains this, Aviv replied 'I'm naive, I don't know why I did it.' The case involves Aviv allegedly selling state secrets for 235 shekels during the war.
