Background and Arrest

In November 2025, Israeli Channel 12 reported that a serious security case had been revealed and Shimon Azarzar, a 27-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of intelligence cooperation with Iran over approximately the past year. The investigation of this case was conducted by the Shin Bet organisation. According to Israeli officials, Azarzar was in direct contact with Iranian agents and is accused of transferring information, images, and sensitive locations of Israeli military bases and other strategic sites.

Arrest and Security Charges

The main charges raised against Shimon Azarzar include the following:

Espionage for a hostile country (Iran).
Collecting and transferring classified information regarding Israeli military infrastructure and facilities.

Israeli authorities claimed that this arrest was in line with dozens of other arrests on suspicion of cooperation with Iran carried out by the intelligence agencies of this regime since the beginning of the Gaza War. In mid-November 2025, Israeli media, citing a Shin Bet announcement, reported the neutralisation of a serious security case and the arrest of an individual named Shimon Azarzar. The main charge raised against him was cooperation with Iranian intelligence agencies over approximately one year. Based on news reports published by Hebrew-language media:

Related agency: The investigation in this case was conducted by Shin Bet in cooperation with other security agencies.
Nature of charges: Azarzar is accused of collecting and sending information, images, and specific geographical locations of Israeli military bases and other strategic infrastructures to Iranian agents in exchange for receiving financial amounts.

Security agencies of the Israeli regime claimed that this individual had sent information including photos, coordinates, and data related to sensitive facilities across the occupied territories to the Iranian side. According to Shin Bet's claim, this settler had offered Iranian agencies that he could provide more information from military bases. This claim states that Shimon Azarzar, using the professional position of his fiancée as a reserve force of the Israeli regime's air unit, obtained details about the activities and bases of the army and sent them to the Iranian side^[1].
