The Shin Bet and Israel Police have uncovered a new espionage case involving an Israeli citizen suspected of offering his services to Iran, allegedly motivated by a desire for revenge. The suspect, a resident of Mazra'a, is accused of photographing military bases and police stations and transmitting location data to his handlers. The investigation, which began last month, was a joint effort between the Shin Bet and the Major Crimes Unit of the Asher region. During the operation, investigators raided the suspect's home, arrested him, and seized mobile phones and computers. His detention was extended multiple times as the investigation progressed. This morning, Sunday, November 15, 2026, following the completion of the investigation and the gathering of substantial evidence, the Haifa District Prosecutor's Office is filing a severe indictment against him at the Haifa Magistrate's Court, along with a request for his detention until the legal proceedings conclude.
