Jerusalem, 25 October, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Two German nationals were arrested in Israel after being caught filming security installations across the country.
Prison guards at the Damon Prison on Mount Carmel initially spotted the suspects video-recording the facility’s entrance. Upon detaining the two individuals, officers conducted a preliminary search of their cellular phones. Security personnel discovered comprehensive footage and photographs documenting various sensitive military sites and defense activities throughout Israel.
The suspects were immediately transferred to the Israel Police for extensive interrogation. Authorities are currently investigating the motives behind the collection of this classified visual intelligence.
Given the potential espionage and national security implications, police intend to bring both foreign nationals before a judge to request a formal extension of their remand. Investigation details remain restricted as defense agencies evaluate the full scope of the security breach.
