The driver, previously identified as Titi, is accused of providing Iranian handlers with footage of President Isaac Herzog’s movements and documenting emergency facilities and defenses at Israeli hospitals, according to a report from JewishBreakingNews. The charges expand on earlier allegations that he supplied hospital footage and emergency protocols.
The case against the ambulance driver accused of espionage for Iran has expanded. According to a report from JewishBreakingNews, the driver — previously identified as Titi — is now charged with documenting President Isaac Herzog’s movements and surveying the defenses of Israeli hospitals. The new charges build on earlier allegations that he provided Iranian handlers with hospital footage and emergency protocols. The Zioneer first reported on the initial charges at 13:04 Jerusalem time, based on a report from The Jerusalem Post.
The first reports emerged at around 12:03 Jerusalem time on Thursday, when The Jerusalem Post and N12 published details of the indictment. Initial accounts stated that the driver, Amir Hisham Muhammad Titi, 34, from Bana in the Galilee, had allegedly provided Iranian intelligence with footage of a hospital and emergency protocols from various Israeli hospitals. Subsequent reports from N12, cited by Or Ravid and Amit Segal, added that the driver had also documented President Herzog’s visit to Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, the home of former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in Moshav Amikam, and protest sites including Hostage Square in Tel Aviv and a protest in Haifa. The indictment, filed Thursday, charges Titi with aiding the enemy in wartime and delivering information with intent to harm state security. The investigation is a joint effort by the Shin Bet and Israel Police.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Iranian espionage efforts targeting Israeli civilians and infrastructure. On July 2, 2026, The Zioneer covered the case of Behrouz Sobirgon, a Tajik national accused of documenting strategic targets and missile impact sites for Iranian intelligence. The current case underscores the persistent threat of Iranian intelligence recruitment, particularly of individuals with access to sensitive sites such as hospitals and emergency services.
The full scope of the intelligence passed to Iranian handlers remains under investigation. It is not yet clear whether the driver acted alone or as part of a wider network. Further details are expected to emerge as the legal proceedings continue.
