IDF Soldier Indicted for Allegedly Spying for Iran, Leaking Sensitive Military Intelligence
Military prosecutors say the soldier shared unit activity, alert levels and base coordinates with Iranian operatives for about a year.
- The Military Prosecutor filed an indictment Thursday against an Israel Defense Forces soldier accused of transmitting sensitive information to Iranian operatives, charging him with contact with a foreign agent and endangering Israel.
- Following a joint investigation, the Shin Bet, Israel Police, and IDF arrested the soldier last month after discovering he maintained contact with Iranian operatives for approximately a year using encrypted applications and cryptocurrency payments to conceal activities.
- Investigators found the soldier shared coordinates of Military bases, photographed American refueling aircraft stationed in Israel, and granted his handler access to a Telegram group called 'Kal Bakrav,' which serves Israelis preparing for Military service.
- A Military court extended the soldier's detention until November 12, 2026, while the Shin Bet, Israel Police, and IDF described the case as an extremely serious national security threat and urged the public to report suspicious recruitment approaches.
- The Iranian handler offered the soldier $200,000 to travel to Iran and instructed him to acquire a handgun, while the soldier disclosed details of his call-up during Operation Roaring Lion and sensitive IDF alert levels.
