Israeli military prosecutors filed charges on Thursday against two IDF personnel serving as Air Force technicians, accusing them of carrying out espionage activities on behalf of Iran.

The two suspects were taken into custody last month in a coordinated operation involving the Shin Bet, the Military Police, and the Israel Police, after investigators concluded there was sufficient evidence to support the allegations.

According to the charges, the soldiers maintained communication over a period of several months with Iranian intelligence operatives. During that time, they allegedly carried out various assignments at the direction of their handlers in exchange for payment. The indictment states that one of the soldiers transferred sensitive materials from his Air Force training, including information related to fighter jet systems, along with video recordings of locations within a military base.

During questioning, the suspects said their connection with Iranian agents ended after they declined to perform missions involving weapons. However, investigators claim that even after contact was severed by the handler, the two continued reaching out in an effort to receive additional payments.

One of the accused faces serious charges, including assisting the enemy in wartime, passing intelligence to hostile elements, and facilitating contact with a foreign agent, among other offenses. The second soldier has been charged with maintaining contact with a foreign agent, transferring information to the enemy, and additional related violations.
