Israel Arrests Man for Spying for Iran
Israel has arrested a 40-year-old man for spying for Iran.
He took pictures of important places, like the home of a former leader, and sent them to Iran for money.
This happened just after Iran executed someone for spying for Israel.
It's rare for Israel to arrest one of its own citizens for spying.
The man was caught in a joint operation by the police and a secret intelligence agency.
He was told to buy a special camera to take these pictures.
This is part of a bigger conflict between Israel and Iran, where both countries have been attacking each other's sites and facilities.
An Israeli man was arrested for spying for Iran, a rare case of Israel charging its own citizen with spying.
The suspect, 40, was arrested this month in a joint operation by Israeli police and Shin Bet.
He was instructed by Iranian handlers to photograph the home of former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and other locations.
The suspect was paid for the photographs he took.
This arrest comes days after Iran executed an Iranian citizen convicted of spying for Israel.
