Turkey Detains Seven in Continued Crackdown on Alleged Mossad Spies

The arrests are part of an ongoing operation against espionage, amid deteriorating Turkey-Israel relations.

Turkish police detained seven more individuals suspected of selling information to Israel's Mossad, marking a continuation of recent arrests.
The suspects were taken into custody during simultaneous raids in Istanbul, in a joint operation with Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization.
One of the detained is a former civil servant and private detective, allegedly trained by Mossad in Belgrade, and accused of placing tracking devices on vehicles.
Turkey and Israel had normalized ties in 2022, but relations soured following the Israel-Hamas war, with Turkey criticizing Israel's military actions in Gaza.
Turkish President Erdogan warned of 'serious consequences' if Israel targeted Hamas officials on Turkish soil.
