Israeli police and the Shin Bet security service announced Monday evening the arrest of a young man in Tel Aviv suspected of carrying out security missions on behalf of an Iranian entity.
The Israeli police explained that the suspect had documented the homes of several officials, as well as sensitive military bases. He also wrote slogans with specific connotations, believed to be linked to the organization he worked for.
