In return, police said, he received payments ranging from tens to hundreds of dollars for each mission.He was arrested in a joint operation by the Israel Police and the Shin Bet security agency after indications were received from international security bodies.Inspector Amichai Fanta, an investigations officer in the interrogation division of the central police unit, said several suspects had been exposed in recent months for allegedly spying on behalf of the enemy.“Some of them committed the acts during wartime and thereby helped the enemy carry out its plans inside Israeli territory,” Fanta said. “We will continue, together with the Shin Bet, to locate and expose offenses of this kind, arrest and bring to justice anyone who harms and endangers the security of the state and its citizens.”Comments
