Israeli police have arrested a 20-year-old US citizen on allegations of spying for Iran, including taking photos and videos of “sensitive sites” in Israel, AlJazeera reports, citing media reports.
The man maintained contact with a Tehran-linked agent and allegedly received tens to hundreds of dollars for each task, the Times of Israel and the Jerusalem Post reported, citing a police statement.
They said he was arrested by the Jerusalem District police on June 9 and that a prosecutor’s declaration has been filed against him, signalling he will be formally charged in the coming days.
