Israel has said that it had arrested two Israelis suspected of spying for Iran, including one accused of handing the country classified information obtained during his military service, AFP reports.

It marks the latest in a series of detentions in Israel of people charged with espionage on its arch-foe Iran’s behalf since the summer.

Israel’s internal security service, Shin Bet, and the police reported the arrests of Yuri Eliaspov and Georgi Andreev, both from the north of the country.

Israeli media reported that both were reservists in the Israeli military, with Eliaspov suspected of bringing Andreev under Tehran’s wing.

Eliaspov is accused of having “passed on to his processing officer secret information obtained during his military service in the air defence forces”, a joint Shin Bet and police statement said. Both were paid for their work and were fully aware they were working against Israel, the joint statement added.
