Netivot man suspected of spying on nuclear research center, Haifa port for Iran
2025-03-24
[IsraelTimes] A 65-year-old man was arrested last month on suspicion of spying for Iran, the police and Shin Bet say.

Prosecutors in the Southern District Attorney’s Office say they plan to indict Netivot resident Edward Yusupov tomorrow on charges of contact with agents from an enemy country.

Yusupov allegedly took photos of IDF bases, the Haifa Port, Israel’s nuclear research center in the Negev and other sensitive sites at the behest of an Azerbaijani national whom police suspect is an Iranian agent. He intended to transfer the pictures to his handler, officials allege.

The suspect went so far as to rent an apartment overlooking the Haifa Port for the agent’s “operational needs,” police add.

Police say he received tens of thousands of dollars for the tasks he carried out.
