Two more Israelis arrested on suspicion of spying for Iran
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLaw enforcement arrested two Israeli citizens on suspicion of spying for Iran in exchange for money, police and the Shin Bet announce.
The pair, both men in their 20s, will be indicted in the coming days after a prosecutor’s declaration was filed against them in the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court this afternoon.
Despite the fact that both men reside in Jerusalem, their alleged espionage was investigated by West Bank District police detectives alongside the Shin Bet. They were arrested last month.
There is a gag order in effect regarding the case due to the incident’s severity and concerns about harming state security, police say.
