Young man suspected to work for Iran intelligence arrested in Israel: report

A 22-year-old student from Deir al-Assad in northern Israel will be indicted for carrying out missions on behalf of Iran, Haaretz reported, citing the police and the country’s Shin Bet security service, according to Al Jazeera.

Bashar Hassan Qassem Musa was arrested earlier this month due to suspicion of him working for Iranian intelligence after he placed road spikes on a central axis in Be’er Sheva, southern Israel, and attempted to harm a public figure, the Israeli outlet reported.

Shin Bet has not disclosed the identity of Musa’s target, Haaretz added.
