The Shin Bet and Israeli police have arrested a 23-year-old Israeli citizen accused of spying for Iran while working at a hotel on the Dead Sea.
Investigators allege the man was recruited by Iranian handlers and instructed to collect intelligence from his place of employment.
Authorities have not disclosed what information may have been passed on, but say the case highlights Iran’s growing attempts to infiltrate Israel through local assets.
The suspect is being interrogated and could face charges of espionage and aiding an enemy.
Officials stressed that national security services remain on high alert against such threats.
