A military court sentenced an active-duty IDF soldier to five years in prison for contacting an Iranian agent and transmitting videos of interceptions filmed during Operation Rising Lion, as well as footage of missile impacts found online, according to Amit Segal (N12) and Moriah Asraf & Doron Kadosh (N13 / Army Radio).
The military court convicted the soldier of maintaining contact with an Iranian agent and passing sensitive security footage. The soldier filmed interceptions of missiles during Operation Rising Lion — the IDF's multi-front aerial defense campaign — from civilian locations, and transmitted the videos to the agent. He also located and sent videos of missile impacts from civilian areas that he found online.
The court handed down a five-year prison sentence, reflecting the severity of the breach of military security and the potential harm to national security. The soldier was an active-duty conscript, and the case highlights the vulnerability of classified information during wartime operations.
Details on the soldier's identity and the specific Iranian agent involved have not been disclosed.
