Israel detains woman over alleged espionage for Iranian intelligence agencies

Israel’s so-called internal security service, known as Shin Bet or Shabak, has detained an Israeli woman over allegedly spying for Iranian intelligence agencies.

According to reports from Shin Bet on Wednesday, the woman, whose identity has not been disclosed pending further investigation, is accused of engaging in activities that jeopardized the regime’s so-called national security.

The agency alleged that she gathered intelligence by photographing key Israeli military installations, including army bases, security installations, and critical oil refineries situated in Haifa.

It also claimed that the woman received financial compensation in exchange for her espionage efforts, particularly for providing information on a high-profile former Israeli official.

This is not the first time Israel has arrested people over alleged spying for Iran.

Israeli authorities have said they have arrested two men over allegedly surveilling minister of military affairs, Israel Katz, on behalf of Iran.

The regime’s so-called security agencies have also claimed they arrested a 16-year-old teen over allegedly spying for Iran in exchange for cash.
