Israel 🇮🇱 | Iran 🇮🇷
An Iranian espionage cell operating inside Israel was exposed, consisting of seven Israeli Jews from Haifa and the Krayot region, all of whom also hold Azerbaijani citizenship. They are suspected of spying for Iran in exchange for hundreds of thousands of shekels, Israeli authorities announced on Monday.
• Espionage Operations: The suspects, some of whom are immigrants from Azerbaijan and others born in Israel, include a deserter soldier and two minors. They are accused of collecting and photographing sensitive information regarding Israel’s military infrastructure over two years.
• Targeted Locations: They gathered intelligence on Israel Defense Forces (IDF) bases, including air force facilities in Nevatim and Ramat David, the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv, Iron Dome batteries, ports, and energy infrastructure like the Hadera power station.
• Strategic Maps: The group received maps of strategic sites from their handlers, including the Golani Brigade’s training base. According to Israeli police, some of the information passed to Iran was reportedly used in missile attacks on Israel.
• Serious Charges: The suspects face the most severe charges: espionage for an enemy state, and the case is being described as one of the most significant espionage scandals in recent years, according to Israeli police sources.
