An Israeli citizen has been indicted on security charges after an investigation by the Shin Bet and Israel Police found that he was allegedly recruited by foreign intelligence elements and participated in influence operations against the State of Israel.

The Central District Prosecutor’s Office filed the indictment Friday with the Central District Court in Lod, along with a request that the defendant remain in custody until the conclusion of legal proceedings.

According to details cleared for publication, the suspect was initially arrested over suspicions that he had committed security offenses. During the investigation, authorities determined that he had allegedly been operated by foreign intelligence elements and was involved in foreign influence activities directed against Israel.

Following the completion of the Shin Bet and police investigation, prosecutors filed charges over the security offenses attributed to the suspect in connection with his alleged activities on behalf of foreign intelligence.

Additional details surrounding the case remain under a gag order.
