Four arrested for alleged Iranian intelligence work before IDF enlistment

Today, serious indictments were filed against them. In a joint operation by the General Security Service, the Northern District Police, Lahav 433 of the Israel Police, and the Military Police, three soldiers and a civilian were arrested during March on suspicion of having long-term contact with Iranian intelligence elements and carrying out missions under their direction, prior to their enlistment in the IDF. Their investigation revealed that one of the operatives acted to recruit the other defendants, and within this framework, they carried out various photography missions throughout the country and were even asked to purchase weapons. As part of their missions, the defendants documented and transferred to the operatives photos and videos of various sites, including train stations, shopping centers, and security cameras. They also transferred documentation of the Air Force Technical School where some of the suspects studied. Some of the defendants approached the operative on their own initiative to carry out security missions, and some were even involved in property damage as part of the connection. Today (Friday), serious indictments were filed against them by the Haifa District Prosecutor’s Office.
