It’s the ultimate betrayal when members of the military with potential access to real intelligence sell their knowledge to the enemy — as may have happened in the case of two Israeli Air Force technicians expected to be charged with espionage.

The two men, working at Tel Nof Airbase on F-15 fighter jets, stand accused of submitting engine diagrams and photos of a flight instructor to Iranian handlers while Operation Roaring Lion was underway, violating military censorship rules, according to a report by Kan News Wednesday.

The alleged spies were also asked to collect information about former IDF chief Lt.-Gen. (ret.) Herzi Halevi and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. The report states that one of the two may be charged with the more serious crime of treason rather than espionage and that eight soldiers on the base are suspected of having knowledge of the technicians’ actions but didn’t report them.

After this came to light, the airbase commander summoned the troops at the base for a security briefing to notify them that he had been summoned by the Shin Bet for questioning. All that is known about him is his rank of brigadier general; his identity remains classified.

Over the past few years, civilians have been charged with spying for Iran, but it’s comparatively rare for members of the military to betray its secrets to the enemy.
