Jerusalem, 20 May, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The State Attorney’s Office recently filed an indictment against an Israeli citizen, a resident of Tira (27), an Arab town in central Israel, for “committing the offenses of contacting a foreign agent” and “providing information to the enemy with the intent to harm the security of the State out of ideological motives.”
The indictment alleges that the defendant, for ideological reasons based on his hatred of the State of Israel and during the fighting with Iran, maintained active contact with a foreign agent hostile to the State of Israel and passed him documentation and locations of sensitive facilities, including seaports, power plants, and an IDF (Israel Defense Forces) base.
The defendant, who worked as a truck driver for the transportation company and traveled throughout the country as part of his job, exploited his position to carry out documentation tasks for the agent, knowing that he was a hostile entity working to collect secret information or engage in other acts that could harm the security of the State of Israel.
As part of the relationship between the two, the agent asked the defendant to take photographs of “important places” and places where Jews gather. The defendant sent the agent locations of strategic places, sometimes even showing him in video calls where to launch missiles, and conditioned continued cooperation in exchange for “results in the place where he sent the documentation.”
