Shabak detains rabbi for Iran espionage
The Israeli Security Agency (Shin Bet) has announced the arrest of a settler rabbi from the Satmar movement named Yaakov Perl, on charges of espionage for Iran in exchange for $15,000. Perl was caught taking pictures of the residence of former Chief of Staff Hertzi Halevi and attempting to access the home of National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, using a camera mounted on his bicycle with the aim of documenting the protection measures for officials. He received security instructions and detailed maps from the Iranians and was asked to collect information about sensitive locations and government officials. Perl was then arrested by Shin Bet, amid a rise in espionage activities on behalf of Iran in recent years.
