An Israeli reserve soldier working on the Iron Dome air defense system has been arrested for allegedly leaking classified information to Iran. The 26-year-old, identified as Raj Cohen, is accused of providing sensitive security data in exchange for money. According to the newspaper Haaretz, Israel’s Shin Bet security agency and the Lahav-433 special police unit carried out the arrest. Investigators found that Cohen had been in contact with Iranian agents for several months and acted under their direction.

Authorities claim Cohen knowingly communicated with Iranian operatives and accepted payment for the information. Formal charges have already been filed against him. Officials fear that critical details about the Iron Dome system, which intercepts short-range rockets, may have been compromised. The soldier reportedly lived in Jerusalem.

Israeli officials said enemy groups have intensified efforts to recruit spies through social media amid the ongoing conflict, while Israel has also increased intelligence operations in Iran and Lebanon. The report added that Iran recently detained several suspected spies accused of working for the United States and Israel, signaling heightened regional espionage activity.
