Israel charges soldier with spying for Iran

Israel has charged a soldier with spying for Iran in exchange for money, the Shin Bet intelligence agency said on Thursday.

The soldier, who was not named, sent the Iranians videos of Israeli missile interceptions and sites hit by Iranian rocket fire in last month's 12 days of fighting between the two countries.

Shin Bet said while none of the information given had been classified, "this is considered a particularly grave incident involving direct contact between an [Israeli] soldier and hostile foreign elements".
