Israeli citizen arrested on suspicion of conducting security tasks for Iranian intelligence

Ra'anan Ohana (44, Haifa) was arrested in May 2026 by the Menashe District Central Unit in coordination with the Shin Bet on suspicion of contact with Iranian intelligence operatives. The investigation indicates that between January and March 2026, including during the "Lion's Roar" war, Ohana carried out tasks including photography in sensitive areas in exchange for cryptocurrency payments, despite understanding the handler was a foreign Iranian agent. An indictment is expected in the coming days.
