According to investigations by police and Shin Bet, the suspect initiated contact with Iranian operatives via Telegram and conducted intelligence-gathering missions without financial compensation, driven by ideological motives and sympathy for Hezbollah.

The suspect allegedly photographed strategic facilities, IDF bases, and police stations, transmitting the documentation to his Iranian handlers. Multiple sources (Ynet and Walla) confirm the same operational details and arrest circumstances.

This case represents a significant security breach involving direct cooperation with a hostile foreign intelligence service operating against Israeli military infrastructure.
