Iran seeks military intelligence on Israel
TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Iran has sought intelligence to determine military and strategic targets for any missile strike on Israel.
Israeli officials said Iran has tried to recruit Israelis and foreigners to provide information on military bases and strategic sites in Israel. The officials said the Teheran regime has also sought to penetrate the Israeli leadership to learn whether the military was planning to attack Iran's nuclear facilities.
"Over the last 18 months, Iran has been aggressively recruiting all kinds of people to obtain any sort of military and political information on Israel," an official said. "It's not clear how successful Iran has been."
On Monday, a former Israeli Arab municipal leader was indicted on charges of meeting with Iranian agents. The indictment asserted that Jirias Jirias, 57 and a former Fatah operative, was also ordered to join a Jewish-led Israeli political party.
