Israeli police and the Shin Bet security agency have arrested Rafael and Lala Goliev, a couple from Lod, accused of spying for an Iranian cell. Officials allege the couple gathered intelligence on sensitive sites, including Mossad’s headquarters, and tracked an academic at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv. The couple reportedly acted on instructions from Elshan Agayev, an Azerbaijani national suspected of working with Iranian officials. This arrest follows Israel’s recent actions against multiple alleged Iran-linked spy networks, as security tensions rise due to ongoing regional conflicts with Iran-backed groups.
