Alleged Iranian Spy Arrested in Plot to Assassinate Israeli Minister
Imagine a secret plan where someone was paid to hurt an important person.
A man in Israel was hired by someone in Iran to place bombs near the home of Israel's Defence Minister.
This man was recruited through a secret online group.
He also filmed some places and was offered a lot of money to hurt a scientist, but didn't do it.
He was given money to do the job using digital money, and he even kept some of the explosives.
Now, this man is in trouble with the law.
An Israeli man was arrested for allegedly spying for Iran and plotting to assassinate Israel Defence Minister Israel Katz.
The man, Roy Mizrahi, is charged with 'aiding the enemy at a time of war'.
Mizrahi was recruited via Telegram and initially filmed locations like Shin Bet headquarters and Azrieli Towers.
He was ordered to place explosives near Katz's home and was offered $1 million to kill a scientist, but refused.
Mizrahi received payment in cryptocurrency and kept a brick of explosives.
