Israeli Soldier Jailed for Sending Missile Attack Videos to Iranian Agent

An Israeli military court has sentenced a soldier to five years in prison for documenting and transmitting videos of Iranian missile attacks to an Iranian intelligence operative. The soldier was found guilty of espionage-related charges.

The military reported that the soldier documented the impact of Iranian missile strikes on Israeli territory during a 12-day conflict in June 2025. The documentation occurred after the soldier accepted a job offer and payment through a personal Telegram account. The individual who contacted the soldier was identified by the Israeli military as an Iranian agent.

According to the military, the Iranian agent offered the Israeli soldier a photography job. Without suspicion, the soldier accepted the assignment. The soldier proceeded to record and send two videos: one depicting civilian locations and another documenting the effects of the Iranian missile strikes on Israel.

The court's decision highlights the severe consequences for military personnel engaging with foreign intelligence services, particularly in the context of ongoing regional tensions.
