WANA (Oct 05) – Israeli media have reported the arrest of an Israeli reserve soldier on suspicion of espionage and intelligence collaboration with Iran.

 

According to Israel’s Channel 12, the detained individual has been identified as Meor Greenkel, who allegedly maintained contact with Iranian operatives during his military service and transferred classified information.

 

The head of the International Counterterrorism Division of Israel’s Police Unit 433 told the network that Greenkel “was a diligent soldier who performed his daily duties, took pride in the easy money he was making, and even managed to recruit two others.”

 

He further claimed that Greenkel had “received an offer to assassinate his commander.”

 

Hebrew-language media described the case as potentially one of the most serious instances of Iranian infiltration into Israel’s security establishment in recent years. Reports indicate that Israeli authorities have launched a wide-ranging investigation into possible Iranian penetration of the country’s intelligence and defense structures.

 

This development follows a string of similar reports in recent months. Several Israeli media outlets recently disclosed the arrests of additional individuals accused of sharing intelligence with Iran.

 

Despite strict media censorship surrounding national security cases, analysts note that the growing number of espionage-related arrests linked to Iran in recent months suggests a recurring pattern of intelligence breaches within Israel’s security apparatus.
