A resident of Petah Tikva has been arrested on charges of planning to assassinate Israeli figures on orders from Iran, according to a statement from the Israel Police.
The statement names the suspect as Vladimir Verhovski, 35, from Petah Tikva, and says he was arrested “after he carried out different tasks” for Iranian sources in exchange for payment. The actions included spray painting graffiti, hanging up flyers and gathering information on an Israeli official, police say.
According to police, Verhovski agreed to assassinate an Israeli scientist in exchange for a payment of $100,000, and went so far as to acquire a weapon for the plot.
The suspect is slated to appear before a court hearing this morning for an extension of his remand, police say.
