An Israeli citizen and a resident of the Gaza Strip were arrested last month by Israeli security forces, suspected of espionage activities within Israel on behalf of Hamas, the country’s internal security service, the Shin Bet, revealed on Thursday.
The two men allegedly carried out intelligence gathering operations against Israel’s military infrastructure and personnel, including investigating Iron Dome missile defense systems and secretly photographing IDF soldiers at Ashkelon Central Station.
The two suspects are identified as Hussein Biari, 30, an Arab Israeli citizen, and Mahmoud Ahmad, 33, a resident of the Gaza Strip.
