34 people, suspected of spying for Israel, were arrested in Turkey this week. Accused of working for Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, to help it kidnap or assassinate Hamas officials. Three days after the death of the number two of the terrorist organization, the Mossad continues its hunt for those responsible for October 7.
“We are going to settle the score with the assassins.” A strong statement from the head of Mossad this week. The death of Hamas number 2 is thus only the beginning of a long hunt which must lead to eliminating one by one the terrorists responsible for the massacres of October 7, 2023. Proof of the Israelis’ desire to achieve their ends, 34 people, suspected of spying for the benefit of the Jewish state, were arrested in Turkey.
Well-known pursuits of the Israeli intelligence service
For Yvonnick Denoël, intelligence specialist and author of “Mossad Wars”, the intelligence chief’s statements should be taken very seriously: “The countries which host Hamas officials are particularly on their guard. It is certain that the Mossad is the most aggressive service in the world in terms of physical elimination. There are more than 2,500 “. A figure much higher than what the Russians and Americans were able to do during the entire Cold War.
Especially since the Mossad has already had to carry out this type of tracking in the past. Particularly with the operation which followed the attacks during the Munich Olympic Games in 1972, which killed eleven Israeli athletes. Five Mossad units had tracked down Palestinian terrorists. It took them seven years to kill the leader of the “Black September” commando.
