Prosecutors in Haifa have indicted a 50-year-old man from the town of Mazra'a on charges of transferring information to an enemy with the intent to harm state security and contacting a foreign agent. The indictment alleges the man communicated with Iranian intelligence via the Telegram app, offering to conduct photography missions in Israel for payment and subsequently sending them images, videos, and information.
The indictment, filed by prosecutor Shir Mushov, states the defendant decided to compromise state security for money and out of revenge for Israeli operations in Gaza. He reportedly searched Telegram for Iran-linked groups to offer his services, leading to contact with an individual working for Iranian intelligence who began assigning him tasks.
According to the charges, the man photographed the "Eidan" junction and the "Etgar Medical" factory in Nahariya for his contact. He also sent his location near the "Zarit" military site and provided information on military vehicle movements along Route 4. The indictment further details that the man proactively sent recordings of the road leading to the "Shraga" camp in the Western Galilee and a photographic record of the Nahariya police station.
The Haifa District Prosecution's request for detention stated the defendant initiated contact with an enemy state, offered his services, and carried out missions. They also noted his actions were motivated by ideology and anger over Israel's operations in Gaza.
