Tehran – Iran’s intelligence agency reportedly separated one of the most important espionage activities in recent memory, securing a massive cache of confidential documents from within the Israeli regime.
Sources cited by the Islamic Republic Broadcasting (IRIB) of the Republic of Iran said the classified operations took a major blow to Israel’s intelligence report and national security. An unnamed insider described the violation as “one of the most harmful things in the history of the occupation regime,” saying the scale of the recovered material was unprecedented.
The operation took place some time ago, but sources say Iranian authorities chose to enclose the documents until they were fully transferred to a safe place in the country. The complex logistics of the mission, coupled with a large amount of files, images and video materials, required strict confidentiality to ensure the safety of the parties and the success of the mission.
“Just checking the contents took an extraordinary amount of time due to the size and range of the materials obtained,” a source told Irib.
The disclosure comes more than two weeks after Israeli Security Services announced the arrest of two suspected Israeli citizens working for Iran’s intelligence reporting agency.
In a joint statement on May 20, Israeli police and the Sinbet National Intelligence Agency said 24-year-old Roymizrahi and Almoguatias were taken into custody in late April. The two were accused of collecting intelligence news on Iran’s behalf. This includes Israeli War Minister Israel Katz allegedly monitors Israeli Katz’s movements in the southern settlement of Kfal Ahim.
Sources told Irib that if the arrest was related to the incident, it occurred after the documents were transported from the occupied area.
In March 2025, the Israeli regime announced the dissolution of its flagship military division, tasked with countering Iran. Hours after supposing the command, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, Chief of Staff of Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF), declared the closure of the Third Directorate of Yen, an organisation established to “neutralise” Iran’s influence. Analysts argue that “it is surrounded as bureaucratic remodeling to improve effectiveness in dealing with Iran, diplomacy and strategy,” the move highlights the inability of Israel to stand up to Iran’s military and intelligence reporting power.
The collapse of the Directorate also reflects a wider systemic obstacle within Israeli security equipment. According to Singh Bet’s 2024 annual report, Iran-linked spy cases surged 400%, with 27 settlers being charged and 13 suspected of the Iranian-led spy ring being dismantled.
