According to Arutz 7's report on a Shin Bet and police investigation, a Mazraa resident was arrested last month on suspicion of initiating contact with Iranian intelligence and documenting targets in Israel.
Wisam Ghaleb Saleh Awad allegedly contacted handlers on Telegram and offered services without payment. Police and Shin Bet attribute an ideological motive to him; this is not a court finding of guilt.
The report says he photographed bases, police stations and strategic facilities and sent photographs and coordinates. Phones and computers were seized in the investigation, and his detention was extended several times.
According to the morning report, prosecutors are expected to file an indictment and request detention through the proceedings. The source reviewed did not confirm that either had actually been filed.
