An indictment was filed against a young man from Jerusalem for allegedly spying for Iranian agents in exchange for money, according to Israeli media. The suspect allegedly passed information to handlers abroad. The case is being handled by the Shin Bet.
Prosecutors filed an indictment against a young Jerusalem resident on Friday morning, accusing him of spying for Iranian intelligence agents in return for money, according to Israeli media reports.
The case, handled by the Shin Bet, adds to a growing series of suspected Iranian recruitment efforts targeting Israeli citizens. In recent months, the desk has reported on indictments in Haifa and Bat Yam, as well as the arrest of an American yeshiva student, all accused of similar espionage-related offenses during wartime.
Details of the alleged information passed by the suspect remain under gag order. The Shin Bet has increased its public focus on Iranian intelligence activity within Israel since the start of the current conflict.
