The Beersheba District Court has sentenced Doron Bukobza, a 30-year-old former court security guard, to three years in prison. The sentence follows a plea agreement where Bukobza was found guilty of contact with a foreign agent. According to the court, Bukobza established contact with an Iranian representative nearly two years ago. During communications with the Iranian agent, Bukobza claimed to have access to the Dimona nuclear reactor. He carried out various online tasks for monetary compensation in digital currency. These tasks included sharing a post by Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir and posting messages calling for the release of hostages Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or, claiming personal acquaintance with them. The case generated significant public concern regarding security issues and potential access to sensitive information by employees of state institutions.
