The Iranian operative, posing as the manager of a popular Israeli musician, offered Hallel Ben-Gvir a fake concert invite.
Israel’s Shin Bet internal security service revealed that Iranian intelligence recently targeted the daughter of National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, using a phishing scheme disguised as an invitation from the manager of a popular Israeli musician.
According to a report in Israel Hayom, an Iranian operative pretended to be Ohad Dabkash, the manager of Hebrew-language rapper The Shadow, known for his outspoken right-wing views. The agent contacted Ben-Gvir’s teenage daughter, Hallel, via the WhatsApp messaging platform.
It remains unclear how the operative obtained her personal cell phone number.
