ER Editor: We remind readers that Hamas is an Israeli-created and controlled operation.
Some interesting and speculative tweets —
#BREAKING: Turkey Arrests 34 Suspected Mossad Spies Over Abduction Plot – I have predicted Turkey would be Israel’s biggest problem, not Iran or Lebanon. Here is my prediction again: Turkey WILL INVADE Israel. Netanyahu is playing with fire. https://t.co/c1l7yCX5LX pic.twitter.com/2rvpKa96vz

We also believe this story was kept for a rainy day, or is a move on the chessboard of public perception, or that Turkish intelligence is active and moving against an entirely different set of people. It all feels too packaged and simple, implausible in fact —
Turkey reportedly arrests ‘dozens’ of Mossad spies

Ankara claims operation foiled Jewish state’s attempts to kidnap foreign nationals on Turkish soil; Israel declines to comment
Turkey arrested dozens of individuals suspected of spying for Israel on Tuesday, according to the country’s interior minister, with the development coming in the wake of Israeli threats to target Hamas members abroad.
Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) and the counter-terrorism bureau of the Istanbul prosecutor’s office detained 33 suspects as part of an operation aimed at disrupting Mossad efforts to target foreign nationals in the country, Ali Yerlikaya posted on his X account.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry declined to comment on the reported arrests.
Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Israel’s intelligence agencies were working to assassinate Hamas leaders across the Middle East, including in Turkey, as its forces battle the terrorist group in the Gaza Strip.
Days later, Israeli media released recordings of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar saying that Israel is determined to kill Hamas’s leaders “in every location” in the world, including Qatar, Turkey and Lebanon.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also warned Israel that Israel would “pay a very heavy price” for carrying out operations against Hamas in Turkey.
Since December 2022, the MIT and Istanbul police have announced three operations uncovering Mossad cells in the country. …
