Israel Charges Woman Over Alleged Iran Spy Activities

Israel’s State Attorney’s Office on Wednesday filed an indictment against an Israeli woman suspected of committing security offences on behalf of Iran, said the Israel Police.
The defendant, Shomou Abed, an Arab Israeli from the northern city of Nazareth, was arrested in March in a joint operation by police and the domestic security agency Shin Bet, the police said in a statement.
Investigation revealed that since October 2025, Abu Abed was in contact with an Iranian handler and carried out multiple tasks in exchange for payment.
The tasks allegedly included photographing sensitive sites, such as military bases and the Haifa oil refineries, and providing information about a former security official.
