At a time when tens of thousands of Israeli tourists were refusing their government’s request to leave Turkey immediately following the revelation of an Iranian kidnapping and assassination plot, Tel Aviv security sources said the security services (military and intelligence) issued orders to the tourists with the rank officer and above immediately return to Israel.
These sources said the orders were sent to about 1,000 Israeli tourists, each of whom received a text message with his name and military service number, including a notice that his stay in Turkey was no longer legal and that he must return to his country. immediately.
Israeli authorities have issued “hot warnings about the presence of an Iranian cell on Turkish soil” planning to kidnap or kill Israelis in retaliation for the killing of a number of scientists and Revolutionary Guard officers.
Israel added that Turkish intelligence arrested the cell and verified its intentions precisely. The Counter Terrorism Group at the National Security Council, which is directly linked to the Israeli Prime Minister, has issued a third-degree warning, demanding that every Israeli in Turkey leave Turkey, and if he is obliged to stay there, he must be careful and do not show their Israeli identity.
However, these measures resulted in the cancellation of hundreds of Israeli tourist trips to Turkey without affecting tourists in Turkey. So there are few of them left. And all the Hebrew media sent teams to meet with these people on Turkish soil and find out the reason for their refusal to follow the instructions. They gave different answers, including that “while they were arresting members of the Iranian cell, why should we leave?” , and “Who’s going to pay our travel expenses? It’s safer here than we feel in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.”
However, a minority was of a different opinion; She interrupted her journey and returned to the village. Among them was an Israeli citizen from Tel Aviv, who claimed to have been abducted in Istanbul, but managed to escape from the kidnappers and hide in a hotel.
On the other hand, Channel 13 told Israeli television about the creation of an Israeli security organization for special missions, which included individuals from the Mossad, Shin Bet and the National Security Council, so that its members work around the clock to monitor for the dangers and warnings that surround Israeli citizens abroad.

The report says that the task of this department is to analyze intelligence information, process it and warn Israelis abroad in real time. Crew members work together around the clock, each using their comparative advantage and ability to gather information and interfere with operations, the report says.

The report confirmed that the arrested Iranians were a terrorist network exposed by Israeli intelligence, and it provided the Turks with accurate intelligence about it last month. Thus, its members were arrested quickly and effectively. During the interrogation of the detainees, they confessed to the charges, and it was established that the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard was behind the disruption of the operation.
