Israel claims to have uncovered a spy network working for Iran

The Israeli Public Prosecution has uncovered a spy network working for Iran.


The Israeli prosecution alleged that the spy network consisted of seven Israelis, “new immigrants from Azerbaijan,” recruited by Iran, who photographed Israeli military bases that were targets of the Iranian missile attack. They also collected information on IDF military bases and installations, including the air force bases in Nabatim and Ramat David, the Karya camp in Tel Aviv, the locations of Iron Dome batteries, and more. They also obtained maps of strategic locations from the operators, including the Golani base, in exchange for a total payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars, which was carried out, among other things, using cryptocurrency.


The suspects are: Aziz Nisanov, Alexander Sidikov, Yigal Nisan, Vishaslav Gushchin, Yevgeny Yuva, and two minors whose names cannot be published who came from Azerbaijan. Over the course of two years, they carried out 600 missions for the Iranians.

The State Attorney's Office is expected to file an indictment against them on Friday in the Haifa District Court for a series of serious security offenses.
