This guy was doing journalism on basically damage to military bases. I think most countries in the world would consider this espionage. 

I don’t support Israel or its government in most regards, but I don’t know what this guy expected. I am not sure what the expectation of spreading info about this case is meant to achieve. This guy is almost certainly going to prison in Israel and the US is not going to press for his release. 

If you do this at a military base near you, you will be, at the least, confronted, questioned, and maybe arrested, wherever you are in the world. If you do this in a country currently engaged in war, you will probably be shot.

Other Israeli and foreign news outlets also reported the same information has he did. So your argument holds no water.

This guy was arrested because the news outlet he writes for has an anti-Israeli stance.
