Turkish and Israeli security forces continue the operation unprecedented in scale in Istanbul to prevent terrorist attacks and abductions of Israeli citizens who are trying to carry out Iranian agents. This was announced on Saturday by the Israeli news site Ynet.
According to the source in Israeli intelligence, “the Iranians seemed to go crazy and are ready for anything. They want to see the blood of the Israelis. Everyone who, despite all our warnings, decided to stay in Istanbul – in the event of a tragedy, they can blame themselves” .
On Saturday in Istanbul, the joint efforts of Mossad and Turkish special services managed to prevent at least one terrorist attack organized by Iran. An attempt was made to abduct and killing Israeli citizens, writes Israeli 9th channel.
The Israeli citizens who are in Istanbul are still recommended to sit locked up and not communicate with outsiders, but those who plan a trip to Turkey – do not do this by howling.
“Hadashot 12” transmits from the words of unnamed “Turkish officials” that the Turkish security services have never carried out such a large -scale counter -terrorist operation in such a close cooperation with Israeli intelligence services.
“I urge all the Israelis remaining in Turkey to listen to the orders of security services, – said the Minister of Defense Beni Hanz.” Israel makes every effort to prevent Iranian attempts to carry out a terrorist attack and is ready to respond with all the rigidity to any attempt on Israeli citizens – in any place “.
According to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, about 2,000 Israelis are still in Istanbul who ignored the warnings of the Israeli leadership.
Sources added that the Israeli special services, including Mossad, are taking active actions to prevent attacks. According to them, “cooperation between Israeli and Turkish security forces is extraordinary and begins to bring results.”
