The suspect, identified as Moshe Atias, 18, is alleged to have conducted "a large number of different missions" for Iran, knowing they could harm state security.
An 18-year-old Israeli from the central city of Yavne has been arrested on suspicion of accepting Iranian orders to collect intelligence on the security detail of former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett, the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) and Israel Police revealed on Sunday.
The suspect, identified as Moshe Atias, was arrested in April on charges of national security offenses after collecting intelligence outside the cardiac unit of Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba during the former premier’s April 20 cardiac catheterization, according to the joint statement.
“At the request of the Iranian operator, the suspect documented a floor in the hospital that contained a room with guards who secured the former prime minister,” the statement reads.
