Ben-Gurion University student arrested for espionage, sowing division on Iran’s behalf
[IsraelTimes] Suspect, 22, was in contact with Iranian agents, scattered nails on a major road in Beersheba, according to police and Shin Bet; will be expelled from BGU

Police and Shin Bet agents have arrested a Ben-Gurion University student on suspicion of attempting to attack a public figure at the behest of Iranian agents, authorities announced Thursday.

Bashar Hassan Qassem Musa, a 22-year-old resident of the Galilee village of Deir al-Asad studying information systems, was accused of maintaining contact with Iranian intelligence operatives for months before his arrest.

He allegedly carried out several missions for them, including an attempted attack on an unnamed public figure, scattering nails on a major route in Beersheba, and "encouraging divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled...
discourse."
Compare and contrast to what Mossad accomplished in Iran — really, there’s no comparison.
Police say he was ideologically motivated, spurred on by Israel’s ongoing war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
. As is usually the case with Iran-sponsored espionage, the suspect was said to have received financial compensation from his contact.

Later on Thursday, the suspect was indicted on charges of contact with a foreign agent, passing intelligence to the enemy and deliberate endangerment of human life on a transportation route.

Despite police’s claim that the suspect plotted an attack on a public figure, the allegation did not appear in the official indictment.

In a statement, Ben-Gurion University announced its intention to expel Musa permanently.

"Ben-Gurion University is shocked by the information indicating that collaboration with Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

has reached Beersheba as well. Since his arrest, the student has not been attending the university," the school said in a statement quoted by Hebrew outlets.

"The university is awaiting details and confirmation from the State Attorney’s Office, after which it will initiate a disciplinary process for his permanent expulsion," it continued.

Over the past two years, Iran has ramped up its efforts to recruit ordinary Israelis as spies in exchange for money. In most cases, Israelis are recruited by Iranian handlers online and begin by carrying out small, innocuous tasks that gradually grow into more serious offenses, like intelligence gathering and even liquidation plots.

During Israel’s 12-day aerial campaign against Iranian nuclear targets, police and Shin Bet went public with the arrests of five suspects thought to have collaborated with the Islamic Theocratic Republic via handlers they met online.

Earlier this week, three Israelis were arrested on such suspicions, one of whom allegedly gathered intelligence on the future daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Near the outset of the war with Iran, security forces arrested two Israelis for alleged espionage for Tehran.

Of the dozens arrested and charged with espionage for Iran, only a few have been sentenced so far.
