IDF Sees Sharp Rise in Internal Investigations Linked to Iran Threats
The Israeli military and Military Police (MP) are currently investigating a sensitive and serious security matter, though most details remain under a strict gag order. Recent developments indicate a significant advancement in the probe. Data reveals a consistent half-yearly and yearly increase in internal security incidents investigated by the MP, with a substantial portion directly or indirectly related to the escalating tensions with Iran and its regional proxies.
In 2022, there were 10 such incidents. This number rose to 18 in 2023, 16 in 2024, and 31 in 2025. As of July 2026, 31 incidents have already been recorded, matching the total for all of 2025. This trend has raised concerns within the defense establishment that the number of investigations could exceed 60 by the end of the year.
The sharp increase is attributed to intensified efforts by Iranian intelligence and agents to gather information, establish contact, or exploit vulnerabilities within Israel's military and security systems.
