🎩WTF? "Spy Wing" Exposed: Inside Israel's Iranian Espionage Crisis and the Secret Prison Wing for Traitor TikTokers...
By: Special WTF Correspondent | June 2025 Edition
Welcome to WTF Times, where the headlines are real but feel written by a Netflix intern on LSD.
Today:
Iranian espionage in Israel has officially gone from cloak-and-dagger to broke-and-Telegram. From student masseurs cutting doll heads to immigrant dads playing James Bond for crypto, the new wave of Mossad's least-wanted is one for the history books.
So buckle up:
We're going inside the new "Spy Wing" at Damon Prison, where the air smells like cheap hummus and betrayal.
Welcome to the X-Wing (No, Not the Star Wars One)
The most secretive and surreal wing in Israel's prison system isn’t hosting supervillains or arms dealers — it’s packed with Uber drivers, masseurs, Telegram junkies, and alleged spies who thought $500 was worth snapping a picture of Haifa port.
Located in Carmel’s Damon Prison, the new "X-Wing" (or officially: the Iran Spy Wing) was established after 35+ espionage suspects popped up like a bad rash across the Israeli landscape. They weren’t Hamas agents. They weren’t Hezbollah commandos. They were mostly broke immigrants from the former Soviet Union and confused online freelancers who mistook Iranian intel operatives for crypto startups.
Conditions?
Grim.
No water at first.
Food that makes prison hummus look like Michelin cuisine.
Escorts in black masks.
It’s Guantanamo by way of Kafka.
From Ramen to Ramallah: Who Are These "Spies"?
Let’s start with Aziz Nisnov, the domino that knocked the whole setup down. Arrested near Glilot with a camera and a mission, he thought he was doing business for a guy named "Alshan" from Azerbaijan. Turns out Alshan moonlights for Tehran. For each port photo? $500. Not bad when you’re in debt and your Google Maps works fine.
Then there's Eden Debs, a psychology student-slash-massage therapist who received $12,000 in crypto to hang signs and simulate protest vandalism. He even cut off a doll's head to fulfill one request (but, WTF twist, did it at his dad's door instead of the target’s). Spy or TikTok prankster? Jury's still out.
Meanwhile, Moti Maman, 72, actually flew to Iran and met the folks behind the keyboard. For this grandpa espionage, it was less "Mission Impossible" and more "Senior Discount on Treason."
Shin Bet's New Game: Spy Hunter for Gen Z
With spies recruited via Telegram like it's Fiverr for espionage, the Shin Bet* launched its own counter-campaign. Targeting teens. That’s right – Israel's national security service is now teaching students not to accept $300 in Dogecoin to photograph an airbase.
They also formed a special intel unit dedicated to stopping Iran's keyboard commandos, many of whom operate from Azerbaijan. The irony? Some of these suspects can’t spell “subterfuge” but are charged under wartime espionage laws with 15-year max sentences.
*NOTE: The Shin Bet — formally known as the Israel Security Agency (ISA) or in Hebrew, Shabak / שב״כ — is Israel’s domestic intelligence and internal security service. Think of it as the Israeli hybrid of the FBI, Secret Service, and your neighborhood’s very nosy auntie all rolled into one, but on military-grade steroids.
From NSO Targets to Defense Minister Drive-Bys
It gets more twisted. Some defendants were tasked with tracking Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, planting cameras near his moshav. Another was sent to document an NSO Group exec, known for surveillance software. Then there were those told to paint graffiti, hang signs, or set fires – with some outright refusing, others trying to trick their handlers with fake compliance.
One even recorded everything and showed his mom.
Let that sink in: "Mom, I think I’m being paid by Iran. Also, pass the soup."
Crypto, Chaos, and Courtroom Confusion
Most defendants have no background in military or politics. Just debt, desperation, and Telegram. Defense lawyers argue there's no actual evidence linking their handlers to Iran. The Shin Bet, unsurprisingly, disagrees.
The real WTF? No distinction is made between the guy who simulated vandalism and the one who agreed to murder an Israeli scientist for 100K. Same charge: aiding the enemy during wartime.
And you thought Israel's politics were confusing.
WTF Legal Limbo
No death penalty requests. No plea bargains. Lawyers are baffled. Judges are divided. The Shin Bet is spooked. Trials are delayed. And as more suspects emerge, the lines between real threat and ridiculous TikTok treason continue to blur.
As Attorney Omer Adiri put it: "My guy hung a sign and removed it. He's being tried like a Cold War villain."
A Final WTF: The Info-War Angle
This isn’t just about prisons or plots. Israel's security establishment is fighting a broader info-war — not just against Iran, but against the idea that espionage can be freelanced out like a TaskRabbit gig.
That’s why schools are now hosting "Don’t Talk to Telegram Terrorists" lectures. Because in 2025, Iranian Intelligence might be in your inbox offering $1,000 in Monero for a selfie with a radar dome.
To Conclude: A Very 2025 Spy Story
This is what modern espionage looks like. Not Le Carre. Not Bond. Just poor guys with smartphones, a few thousand bucks in Bitcoin, and a handler named Hasan who uses emojis.
So the next time you hear about "spies" in Israel, remember: some of them might just be broke masseurs who got roped into international espionage while looking for side hustles.
Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re going to check our DMs. Because who knows, maybe Tehran wants drone footage of our lunch.
