Hello to all my international followers, Some of you have wondered where I’ve been over the past 3 years, and why I stopped sharing the intelligence reports I used to post. After 3 years under strict secrecy, I can finally tell my story: I was recruited and operated as an intelligence asset by the IDF’s Military Intelligence Directorate and other security agencies. However, after my work, I was wrongfully arrested under suspicion of possessing classified material. I was brutally tortured during Shin Bet interrogations. The investigators ignored every evidence I provided and systematically covered up their lies. I proved, again and again, that I was acting under orders and that all my publications were based on open-source intelligence (OSINT) — yet no one listened. The officers who operated me — including Major General Roman Gofman — denied responsibility and left me to rot. I spent 19 months in prison, under interrogation and house arrest, suffering immensely. Only after 19 months, when it was undeniably proven that I had been sent by intelligence authorities and had committed no crime, did the State of Israel drop the charges. The failure was massive. Now I’m fighting in court to seek justice — and to ensure those responsible are held accountable. Here’s a link to the full story. More updates will follow here — stay tuned. Big things ahead. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-01-09/ty-article/.premium/israeli-teen-mistakenly-jailed-for-espionage-recounts-harshest-of-conditions/00000194-4a03-dff1-a7bc-dbf361970000
