Jerusalem: Israel announced on Tuesday that two citizens have been arrested on suspicion of spying for Iran. A statement from the Shin Bet domestic security agency revealed that the suspects were involved in "intelligence-gathering missions for Iran" in Kfar Ahim, a town known as the residence of Defense Minister Israel Katz.
According to Anadolu Agency, one of the suspects, Roy Mizrahi, was in contact with Iranian operatives throughout 2025. He allegedly carried out a series of security-related tasks, fully aware that he was acting under Iranian direction. Mizrahi, along with Almog Atias, was arrested in late April following a joint investigation by the Shin Bet and police.
There has been no immediate response from Iran regarding these allegations made by Israel. This development follows last week's announcement by Israeli security agencies of the arrest of a 16-year-old suspected of spying for Iran in exchange for cash.
In recent years, both Iran and Israel have reported dismantling spy networks amid their ongoing rivalry. This latest incident adds to the series of espionage allegations between the two nations.
