The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) is investigating the 'fruit hybrids' affair, with findings and lab results transferred to the agency, Channel 12 reports. Details of the suspected incident remain under a gag order.
Channel 12 reported Wednesday afternoon that the Shin Bet is now involved in investigating the 'fruit hybrids' affair, following the transfer of findings and laboratory results to the agency. The probe, which also names Ourich as a subject according to earlier Zioneer reporting, appears to focus on a suspected security or criminal incident related to hybrid fruit cultivation or distribution. Details remain under a gag order, and the full scope and nature of the suspicion have not been disclosed. The Shin Bet's involvement suggests an assessment that the affair may involve elements of national security or sabotage, though no official confirmation has been released.
