Iran’s covert war against Israel collapses as security forces intercept betrayal, defend citizens, sovereignty, stability.
Israeli security authorities have dismantled an espionage network operating inside Israel on behalf of Iranian intelligence, following a covert investigation by the Israel Security Agency and the Israel Police.
Two Israeli civilians in their twenties from the Jerusalem area were arrested in January after evidence revealed sustained contact with hostile Iranian handlers. Investigators determined the suspects knowingly carried out sensitive security-related tasks over several months, fully aware they were acting under foreign direction from Iran.
The operation exposed a modern espionage model: recruitment through ideological manipulation, coordination via encrypted channels, and payment routed through cryptocurrency wallets to obscure foreign funding trails.
Following the completion of the investigation, the Jerusalem District Attorney’s Office submitted a prosecutor’s statement to the Magistrate’s Court. Due to the gravity of the offenses, a court-imposed publication ban remains in force on further details.
Security officials warned that this case reflects an expanding Iranian campaign to penetrate Israeli society from within—using civilians as disposable assets in a broader hybrid war. Israel’s intelligence and law-enforcement agencies reaffirmed their commitment to exposing, disrupting, and punishing such internal threats decisively.
