Man Arrested in Israel for Spying for Iran
(Jerusalem Post-Ynet News) Anna Ahronheim - An Israeli citizen, age 50, was arrested on March 16 for having links with Iranian intelligence agencies and providing intelligence on strategic sites in Israel, the Israel Security Agency announced on Tuesday. At the time of his arrest, authorities seized encryption devices as well as a disk drive that he tried to destroy during his arrest. The man held meetings with Iranian intelligence officers several times while abroad, during which he received funds, training, and secret encryption tools. "This investigation demonstrates that once again Iran and its proxies are working to recruit and exploit Israeli civilians to work for Iran," the ISA said.
