TL;DR Summary

Turkish authorities have detained 34 individuals suspected of spying for Israel's Mossad intelligence agency and planning abductions. The operation, named "Operation Mole," involved raids on 57 addresses across Istanbul and other locations, with 12 more suspects still at large. Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya released video footage of the raids. The arrests come amid heightened tensions between Turkey and Israel, particularly over Israel's stance on Hamas, which Turkey does not consider a terrorist organization. This incident follows previous arrests in 2022 where individuals were detained on similar charges of espionage for Mossad.
