He is also accused of communicating with Hezbollah's television station, Al-Manar, providing photos and videos. When Hezbollah began launching daily rocket and drone attacks after Hamas's October 7 attack, Saadi allegedly transmitted missile impact locations, aircraft movements, and the positioning of Israeli military units.

"The investigation of the affair once again revealed the fact that the elements of the Shiite axis led by Iran are working to promote terrorist activity in Israel, including by recruiting residents of the State of Israel who are exploited by them for espionage activities for their needs," the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) said.
