Overview

• The Jerusalem District Court on Sunday found the 22-year-old Beit Shemesh resident guilty of contact with a foreign agent and conspiracy to make threats.
• According to the indictment, he communicated with a Telegram profile called "Anna Elena," recruited two Israelis, and received cryptocurrency payments.
• Assigned actions included posting posters with a bloodied hand image in Tel Aviv, documenting the act for payment, and arranging collection of a cellphone near Atlit.
• The handler later urged sending packages containing a knife and flowers to Israel’s representative to the IAEA, a step he resisted by citing fear of prison.
• The defense seeks to invalidate confessions and requested a probation review before sentencing, while the prosecution says he knowingly served a hostile entity and pledged continued enforcement.
