The indictment filed by attorney Omer Segal-Rosenbaum from the Central District Attorney’s Office states that from the end of October 2025 until his arrest, the defendant was in contact with a foreign agent and performed various tasks for him, transferring their results, in exchange for various sums of money via digital wallets on the Binance trading platform.
On the operator’s instructions, the defendant installed a dashcam with a SIM card in his vehicle, enabling remote connection via username and password, and live, real-time video streaming.
On 3.12.25, in the early morning hours, the defendant drove to the street of former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s residence, on the operator’s instructions, with the dashcam operating and under the operator’s control. A short time after parking his vehicle near the former Prime Minister’s home, security guards approached him and he fled the scene. The defendant was arrested about a week later.
The indictment further states that the defendant documented streets in Herzliya for hours using a camera installed in his vehicle. On the agent’s instructions, the defendant parked the vehicle, returned home by taxi, and then returned to the vehicle and turned off the camera. He also filmed various locations in Yavne and Petah Tikva. Among other things, the defendant drove, on the agent’s instructions, to the “Kanyon HaZahav” mall in Rishon LeZion and to Ashdod, filmed videos documenting his journey, and sent the videos to the agent in exchange for payment.
On other occasions, the agent instructed the defendant to go to kiosks in various cities across the country, buy cigarettes and drinks for himself, and send the receipts to the agent. According to the indictment, the defendant continued to act on the agent’s instructions despite suspecting he was acting under his direction.
The case was investigated by the General Security Service and the Israel Police.
The prosecution is requesting the court to detain the defendant until the completion of legal proceedings against him. In the arrest request, the Central District Attorney’s Office stated that the defendant transferred videos filmed by him of the former Prime Minister’s street of residence to a foreign agent, in a manner that allowed the street, the houses on it, and the entrance to the house to be identified. The transfer of such information about a senior figure in the State of Israel indicates the significant danger he poses.
