2026年6月9日、イスラエル国内で20代の米国人男性が、イランの諜報機関のためにスパイ活動を行った疑いで逮捕された。イスラエル当局は、捜査終了後の火曜日にこの逮捕を発表した。
容疑者は、イスラエル警察と治安機関シンベトによる合同作戦によって身柄を拘束された。伝えられるところによると、容疑者は少額の報酬と引き換えに、機密性の高い場所を撮影するなどの任務を負っていた。
捜査は厳重な報道規制の下で行われた。エルサレムの裁判所は、検察官が正式な声明を提出するまで、この男性の勾留を複数回延長した。
数日以内に起訴される見通しである。検察側は手続きが終了するまで引き続き勾留を求める方針である。

Authorities have foiled a terror plot aimed at Jewish institutions across New York, California and Arizona. An Iraqi suspect linked to the scheme is now in custody.
