In a significant national security development, the Israel Security Agency (ISA) and Israel Police announced on Tuesday the arrest of three Israeli citizens accused of collaborating with the Iranian regime to undermine the country's security.
The arrests follow a series of covert actions reportedly orchestrated through encrypted messaging platforms. One of the suspects, Elimelech Stern, a 21-year-old ultra-Orthodox resident of Beit Shemesh near Jerusalem, has been charged with illegal contact with a foreign agent.
The charges were filed at the Jerusalem District Court and reported by Israel’s Ynet news outlet.
