Iranian Attack on Israelis in Turkey Foiled


(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - On Saturday, Israel's Channel 12 reported that Israeli and Turkish intelligence services thwarted an attack on Israelis in Turkey over the past day. "There are Israelis who were minutes from death and do not know it," a defense official told Channel 13 on Saturday. The official said there had been "significant activity against the Iranian squads" over the past day. Senior Israeli defense officials said the coordination between Israeli and Turkish intelligence was "phenomenal." Channel 11 reported that "The incident is not yet behind us, there are still immediate attempts by squads to murder Israelis." Israelis in Turkey have been warned not to open their hotel room doors for delivery people, not to post about their travel plans on social media, and not to go to tourist venues popular among Israelis. The Iranian official behind the planned attacks was identified as Hossein Taeb, who heads the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Intelligence Organization.
