IN CONTACT WITH IRANIAN INTELLIGENCE FOR MONTHS
It was stated that 26-year-old soldier Roz Cohen, who was detained following a secret investigation, had been in contact with Iranian intelligence for months and had leaked classified information about the Iron Dome systems.
Details regarding the soldier detained in a joint operation by the "Lahav 433" unit, established to combat corruption within the Israeli police force, and Shin Bet, regarding the intelligence leak will be shared with the public in the coming days.
IRON DOME HAS BEEN FREQUENTLY BREACHED RECENTLY
The Iron Dome plays a significant role in preventing retaliatory attacks from Iran following the assaults initiated by Israel and the U.S. on February 28. Recently, Iran's missile attacks have been bypassing the Iron Dome and hitting Israel.
The architecture of Israel's Air Defense System consists of four layers: Iron Dome (4-70 kilometers), David's Sling (40-300 kilometers), Arrow 2 (500 kilometers), and Arrow 3 (2,400 kilometers).
