The military court sentenced a regular service soldier to five years in prison, who pleaded guilty to and was convicted of serious security offenses of contacting a foreign agent and providing information that could be of benefit to the enemy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The details of the case indicate that during 2025, the defendant began receiving messages on his private Telegram account from various parties, some of whom were later identified as being linked to Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These messages included offers for various jobs. Later, an Iranian foreign agent approached the soldier directly and offered to earn money in exchange for carrying out photography assignments in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The soldier accepted the offer and sent the Iranian agent two videos documenting missile interceptions, which he himself filmed in civilian areas during Operation 'Am Kalavi'. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He received payment from the Iranian operator for one of these videos. Furthermore, the defendant provided the Iranian agent with additional videos filmed in civilian areas, including a recording of a direct missile hit that he found on the Internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, due to the pressure he felt, the soldier decided to inform an official in his military unit about the contact he was maintaining with the foreign agent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The day after the report, he was arrested by Shin Bet investigators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the sentencing arguments, the military prosecution demanded that the court sentence the soldier to a deterrent sentence of seven years in prison to be served in practice, along with associated penalties. The prosecution representatives emphasized to the judges the extreme seriousness and the real potential risk inherent in these acts, while emphasizing the need to deter the defendant and deter the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In determining the sentence, the military court took into account the outstanding seriousness of the offenses, the defendant's status as a soldier on active duty, and the fact that the country is in a state of war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the judges chose to take into account several circumstances, including the fact that the soldier did not transmit classified military information or information that came to his knowledge as part of his duties in the IDF, and that he was the one who chose to cut off contact on an initiative basis and reported this to his commanders without delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ultimately, the court sentenced the soldier to five years in prison, probation, a fine of 1,000 shekels, and immediate demotion to the rank of private.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u05d1\u05d9\u05ea \u05d4\u05d3\u05d9\u05df \u05d4\u05e6\u05d1\u05d0\u05d9 \u05d2\u05d6\u05e8 \u05d0\u05ea \u05e2\u05d5\u05e0\u05e9\u05d5 \u05e9\u05dc \u05d4\u05d7\u05d9\u05d9\u05dc, \u05e9\u05e9\u05dc\u05d7 \u05dc\u05d2\u05d5\u05e8\u05de\u05d9\u05dd \u05d0\u05d9\u05e8\u05d0\u05e0\u05d9\u05d9\u05dd \u05ea\u05d9\u05e2\u05d5\u05d3\u05d9\u05dd \u05e9\u05dc \u05e4\u05d2\u05d9\u05e2\u05d5\u05ea \u05d8\u05d9\u05dc\u05d9\u05dd \u05d5\u05d9\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05d8\u05d9\u05dd \u05d1\u05de\u05d4\u05dc\u05da \u05de\u05d1\u05e6\u05e2 '\u05e2\u05dd \u05db\u05dc\u05d1\u05d9\u05d0' \u2022 \u05d4\u05e9\u05d5\u05e4\u05d8\u05d9\u05dd \u05d4\u05ea\u05d7\u05e9\u05d1\u05d5 \u05d1\u05e2\u05d5\u05d1\u05d3\u05d4 \u05e9\u05d4\u05d7\u05d9\u05d9\u05dc \u05dc\u05d0 \u05d4\u05e2\u05d1\u05d9\u05e8 \u05de\u05d9\u05d3\u05e2 \u05e6\u05d1\u05d0\u05d9 \u05de\u05e1\u05d5\u05d5\u05d2, \u05d1\u05d7\u05e8 \u05dc\u05e7\u05d8\u05d5\u05e2 \u05d0\u05ea \u05d4\u05e7\u05e9\u05e8 \u05d1\u05d0\u05d5\u05e4\u05df \u05d9\u05d6\u05d5\u05dd - \u05d5\u05d3\u05d9\u05d5\u05d5\u05d7 \u05e2\u05dc \u05db\u05da \u05dc\u05de\u05e4\u05e7\u05d3\u05d9\u05d5","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":1058657,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[2107,1212,62581],"class_list":["post-1058656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-24","tag-2107","tag-1212","tag-62581"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
