[IsraelTimes] A 75-year-old tourist was arrested yesterday outside the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv on suspicion of working for “hostile actors,” Ynet reports.
Earlier today, his detention was reportedly extended until tomorrow by a Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court judge. Police argued during his remand hearing that he was carrying out “preparatory work” for “hostile actors.” The suspect also reportedly went on a nearby bridge to take pictures of the Defense Ministry headquarters. Police seized a computer and a flash drive from the man’s home and are seeking to keep him in custody so they can search the contents of the two devices. According to Ynet, security guards deleted pictures from his phone that they argued were taken within the base premises.
