Israeli police and the General Security Service (Shin Bet) last month arrested a 20-year-old US citizen in Jerusalem on suspicion of being in contact with Iranian intelligence and carrying out its assignments.

According to official information, the suspect had been in contact with the Iranian side in recent months and carried out various tasks. It is reported that he photographed and video recorded strategic Israeli facilities and received dozens, and in some cases hundreds, of dollars for each task performed.

Based on information from Israeli law enforcement agencies, an indictment was filed against the individual in court today. The prosecution has requested his detention until the completion of the court investigation.

Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
