The wounds inflicted by Saudi agents in 2019 are still fresh, when they flew to Istanbul to murder and dismember Jamal Khashoggi, the dissident journalist who triggered widespread criticism of the kingdom. Fast forward to 2021, Turkey has exposed two spy networks operating inside its borders: one an Iranian cell which was caught red-handed inside Turkish territories while smuggling a former soldier back to Tehran in October. Just days after, a big expos\u00e9 came: 15 spies tied to the world\u2019s notorious spy agency \u2013 Mossad, have been arrested. 200 members of Turkey\u2019s intelligence agency (MIT) had been working for an entire year to bust the gang of Israeli agents. This report details the nature and description of their work and how money was transferred to them to carry out their nefarious activities. Their main goal appears to have been the profiling of Palestinians and other foreign students, and especially those leaning towards learning subjects with potential use in the defense industry. From using encrypted messaging apps to traveling abroad to meet with agents, the network was provided with almost all support\u2014including money\u2014from Mossad. \u201cThe members of the espionage network were instructed to gather information on Palestinians attending Turkish universities and to find out what opportunities they are provided by the government and municipalities&#8230; The network also looked into various associations and organizations operating in Turkey and shared the findings with the Israeli secret service,\u201d the report added.<\/span><\/p><p><b>By: Riyaz ul Khaliq, CIGA Non-resident Research Associate<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Abdurrahman \u015eim\u015fek Affiliation: N\/M Organization\/Publisher: Daily Sabah Date\/Place: October 21, 2021 \/ Istanbul Type of Literature: Report Word Count (3 articles): 2000+ Link 1: https:\/\/www.dailysabah.com\/politics\/turkeys-mit-brings-down-15-member-mossad-spy-network\/news Link 2: https:\/\/www.aa.com.tr\/en\/turkey\/turkey-arrests-15-for-links-to-israeli-spy-agency\/2398660 Link 3: https:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/turkey-arrests-palestinians-arabs-spying-for-israel-mossad Keywords: Turkey, Israel, Spy network, Mossad, Profiling, Palestine, Syria \u00a0 Brief: As Turkey has opened its hearts and gates for oppressed people from [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":7552,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-west-asia"],"blocksy_meta":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Turkeys-MIT-brings-down-15-member-Mossad-spy-network-scaled.jpg",2560,1707,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Turkeys-MIT-brings-down-15-member-Mossad-spy-network-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Turkeys-MIT-brings-down-15-member-Mossad-spy-network-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Turkeys-MIT-brings-down-15-member-Mossad-spy-network-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Turkeys-MIT-brings-down-15-member-Mossad-spy-network-1024x683.jpg",1024,683,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Turkeys-MIT-brings-down-15-member-Mossad-spy-network-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Turkeys-MIT-brings-down-15-member-Mossad-spy-network-2048x1365.jpg",2048,1365,true]},"author_info":{"info":["CIGA Staff"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/geopoliticalcompass.com\/?cat=39\" rel=\"category\">West &amp;
