JERUSALEM – Israel’s security services arrested three citizens Tuesday, suspected of committing security offenses – which Iran’s intelligence apparatus is thought to have directed.
The three were arrested separately over the last two weeks, and the investigation revealed that following interrogation, one suspect – 21-year-old Elimelech Stern, a member of the Vishnitz Hasidic community in Ramat Beit Shemesh, approximately 20 miles or so west-south-west of Jerusalem – received his instructions over Telegram.
