Israeli military prosecutors filed an indictment against an IDF soldier accused of spying for Iranian intelligence for about a year, providing sensitive military information in exchange for cryptocurrency payments. The soldier was arrested in September after a joint investigation by the Shin Bet, the Israel Police and the Military Police. The soldier knowingly maintained contact with an Iranian intelligence operative, and provided classified information about IDF operations, military readiness, troop mobilizations, military bases and their coordinates, including details of his own deployment during the war with Iran earlier this year. He also photographed missile interceptors, military vehicles and American aerial refueling planes stationed at an Israeli airport. The soldier also gave personal information about his fellow soldiers and commanders, knowing that his Iranian handler intended to recruit them for espionage. He also shared access to Easy in Battle, a Telegram group for young Israelis preparing for military service, which the Iranian activist later joined. The indictment states that the therapist directed the soldier to install encrypted communication apps, suggested he purchase a basic cell phone and a gun, and set up coded communication and a cover story to avoid detection. The soldier was offered $200,000 to go to Iran. He is accused of passing information to the enemy with the intention of harming the state's security and benefiting the enemy, and maintaining contact with a foreign agent. His detention was extended until November 12, when the prosecutors request to keep him in custody throughout the proceedings.
