Three Israeli citizens from the North were charged on Thursday with a range of severe security offenses, including spying for Hamas and gathering information on Israel’s Cellcom cellular network. The prosecution’s Cyber Division charged the defendants in the Central District Magistrate’s Court in Rishon Lezion with passing on significant quantities of sensitive information to Hamas terrorists in Turkey and forming a severe cyber threat to the Cellcom company, as part of preparations for a future military escalation, according to a joint statement from the Israel Police, state prosecutors and the Israel Security Agency.
