Arrested by the Israel Police, Shin Bet, and military investigators, the soldiers allegedly documented bases and shared fighter-jet system details with Iranian handlers for cash, prosecutors say.

An Israeli citizen from Nazareth allegedly spent months taking direction from a foreign handler, photographing sensitive sites—including security facilities, IDF bases, and the Haifa oil refineries—in exchange for digital payments. Prosecutors have filed an indictment and requested that she remain in custody until the end of the proceedings.

Prosecutors say a 22-year-old from Haifa worked with Iranian intelligence, built a home bomb lab, manufactured TATP, and plotted attacks in Israel, including targeting former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. According to the indictment, he even offered to act as a suicide bomber.

A man and a woman were arrested after allegedly trying to drive into a Scottish base that houses the UK's nuclear submarines. MI5 has recently disrupted several Iran-linked plots, including charges tied to surveillance of Jewish sites in London.
