Supreme Court President Isaac Amit on Monday ordered the release to house arrest of an IDF reserve soldier who served in the Air Force's underground command center. The soldier, who confessed to hanging pro-Iranian signs and spraying graffiti for payment from a foreign agent, was indicted in January 2025 and the prosecution case has concluded. Despite negative probation reports recommending against release due to the danger he poses, Amit ruled that the length of detention and advanced proceedings justify house arrest with electronic monitoring.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, Supreme Court President Isaac Amit ordered the release of a reserve soldier accused of contact with an Iranian agent. New details emerging Monday afternoon reveal that the soldier served in the classified underground command center of the Israeli Air Force. According to the report, the soldier confessed to hanging pro-Iranian signs and spraying graffiti for payment from a foreign agent, fully aware that the agent belonged to a state at war with Israel. The indictment was filed in January 2025 and the prosecution's case has concluded. The probation service submitted negative reports recommending against release due to the danger the soldier poses, noting he did not take responsibility for his actions. Nevertheless, Amit ruled that the length of detention and the expected further extensions justify release to house arrest with electronic monitoring. The case highlights the ongoing challenge of Iranian recruitment of Israeli citizens, including those with access to sensitive military positions.
