The police and Shin Bet security service arrested two IDF reservists for alleged espionage on behalf of Iran in return for financial compensation, it was announced Monday.
The main suspect, Yuri Eliasfov, 21, served in the military’s Iron Dome unit and passed along highly sensitive material about the missile defense technology to his Iranian handler, police said in a statement.
The material included a video that Eliasfov filmed of the aerial defense system, according to Hebrew-language reports.
The reservist later recruited the second suspect in the case, his friend Georgi Andreyev, 21, into the espionage scheme.
The Ynet news site reported that Eliasfov received $2,500 from the Iranian agent, while Andreyev received $50
