According to Saed News citing ISNA, The New York Times reported in its publication: Everything started last summer with a message on Telegram that offered an easy way to make money. Vladislav Viktorzon, a 31-year-old "Israeli citizen" living in the eastern suburbs of Tel Aviv, fell into the trap.

In court documents of the occupied territories, it is alleged that his first assigned task included graffiti slogans such as comparing "Benjamin Netanyahu," the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, with "Adolf Hitler," the leader of Nazi Germany, in his own neighborhood. These documents show that Viktorzon and his partner Anya Bernstein were also accused of carrying out such activities.

The American outlet, addressing the claims of the police and the internal intelligence service (Shin Bet) of the Zionist regime, wrote: According to police and Shin Bet reports, it was revealed that the employer was an Iranian agent. Israeli officials say that Viktorzon and Bernstein, who were arrested in October 2024, were part of a wave of Israelis who had been deceived online into carrying out activities for Iranian agents.
