Translation by SadaNews - The Israeli police, in cooperation with the Shin Bet security service, have arrested a Jewish independent journalist residing in Jerusalem on suspicion of communicating with Iranian entities.

According to Channel 13, as translated by SadaNews, the police requested to keep the journalist, an unknown figure from the Haredi community, in custody, but a magistrate's court ordered his conditional release.
