Iran Tried to Establish Spy Network in West Bank
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - The Israel Security Agency said Thursday it has arrested a Jordanian businessman who attempted to set up an intelligence-gathering operation in the West Bank on behalf of Iran. Taer Shaafut, 32, was arrested in April and indicted this month. Shaafut, who is originally from Hebron in the West Bank, held meetings with the Iranians in Lebanon and Syria over the past two years. "This affair is another example of Iran's ongoing attempts to set up infrastructure for operations against Israel," the ISA said.
