Iran's internal efforts to infiltrate Israel
Israeli reports have revealed that the intelligence confrontation between Iran and Israel has entered a new phase, where recruitment attempts are shifting from traditional covert operations to a method based on enticing ordinary individuals through phones and social media platforms in exchange for money, then promoting them to carry out sensitive tasks. Israel has monitored an increase in espionage cases attributed to Iran, especially since the Gaza crisis, where Tehran employs a "low-cost recruitment" approach that begins with messages on apps like Telegram or fake job offers, and sometimes culminates in collecting information about military and security facilities, as well as public figures. Iran relies on a "roll-up" method, testing targets initially by gathering basic information, then escalating the sensitivity and scale of the operations, often using digital currencies to reduce traceability. The amounts involved range from tens to thousands of dollars depending on the mission, with targets including sensitive sites such as military bases and ports, aiming to build databases for future use. The accused do not belong to a single social background but include migrants, religious individuals, Arabs, and soldiers, often motivated by financial or ideological reasons. Iran combines human espionage with cyberattacks, attempting to hack into accounts of officials, security figures, and sensitive sectors. Despite Israel's capabilities in counterespionage, it faces challenges due to the ease of creating new accounts and the widespread online connectivity among everyone, while Iran improves its low-cost operations to turn espionage into a broader and less expensive activity.
