flag Israeli man arrested for spying for Iran, accused of targeting ex-defense minister.

flag Israeli authorities have arrested Fares Abu al-Hija, a 32-year-old from Kaukab Abu al-Hija in northern Israel, on suspicion of spying for Iranian intelligence. flag He was charged with gathering data on former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, including photographing and filming locations near Gallant’s home in Amikam, delivering encrypted devices, and receiving payments via cryptocurrency. flag Authorities say he was recruited via Telegram in August, admitted to working for a foreign agent, and continued despite suspecting the nature of his activities. flag The Shin Bet and Israel Police linked the case to a broader rise in Iranian efforts to recruit Israeli civilians since the June 2025 conflict, using digital platforms and economic incentives. flag The suspect remains in custody following an indictment.
