2023: Turkey accuses Mossad of spying and preparing attacks on Palestinians living in the country

In January 2024, Turkey accused Israel of spying on its territory and preparing attacks on Palestinians living there amid worsening relations between the two countries over the conflict in Gaza.

On January 2, Turkish intelligence agents and police raided Istanbul and seven other provinces to thwart "international espionage activities," Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said. "Israeli intelligence agencies intended to commit acts...... on a tactical basis against foreign nationals living in our country."

Authorities detained 34 people, mostly foreign nationals, who a senior intelligence official said were allegedly recruited by Israel's Mossad spy agency.

Abduction and interrogation of a Palestinian programmer in Malaysia

Mossad agents kidnapping a Palestinian programmer and interrogating in the jungle of Malaysia are not the plot of a spy thriller, but the real story of 2022, which colleagues drew attention to.

The target of the Israelis was a Palestinian named Omar A. from Istanbul, who developed a program to hack the phones of Israeli officials and military personnel, and was also allegedly able to find vulnerabilities in the Iron Dome software.

Mossad planned to lure the Palestinian out of Turkey and take him to Tel Aviv. For several months, various agents communicated with him under the guise of customers of IT projects, verifying the data and receiving other important information from him.

In the end, the programmer went to Turkey-friendly Malaysia, where he was captured by a team of Israelis. He was taken to a shelter in forests east of Kuala Lumpur and interrogated for 36 hours.

But Turkish intelligence MİT also knew about the activity around the Palestinian, installing a location tracking application on his phone. After the abduction, the Turks contacted Malaysian colleagues who conducted a raid and freed the prisoner, detaining 11 Mossad agents.

Later, a resident of the local Mossad cell was also arrested in Turkey. Well, the Palestinian programmer himself returned to Istanbul and continues to work.

Liquidation of a high-ranking employee of the Quds special forces in Iran

On May 22, 2022, a senior officer of the Quds special forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran was killed. According to the official version of the investigation, the murder was committed by members of a terrorist organization supervised by Israeli intelligence Mossad. Telegram channel @ BellumActaNews reported that the Israelis consider the murdered person responsible for planning special operations against Israeli citizens around the world. The Iranian leadership said the event was a red-line crossing followed by "imminent retaliation." Against the background of this threat, the Israeli authorities ordered to transfer all foreign embassies to a terrorist threat regime.

2020: Large-scale wiretapping in African countries

According to the publication "Women of Africa," as of May 2020 Gabon , an inconspicuous three-story building bristling with antennas was sheltered in the capital Libreville, on the Boulevard of the Republic. This is Silver - the presidential wiretapping center run by Frenchman Jean-Charles Solon - a former intelligence officer. Every day, sealed reports - transcripts of phone calls, archives of text messages, emails and correspondence in - are delivered from Silver to President Ali Ben Bongo Ondimba's desk. WhatsApp

Silver contractors - Nexa Technologies, Ercom and Suneris Solutions - are the commercial operators of espionage technologies of the French special services. All of them provide a neocolonial ecosystem of Françafrique - in Gabon, as well as in Mali, Senegal, Kot-d and many more.

But Solon has many Israelis subordinate, and side by side with French firms there are Israeli companies from Herzliya - NSO, Mer Group and Elbit Systems, operating in both Congo, Guinea, Nigeria, South Africa, Angola and Ethiopia and gradually squeezing out the French spy business from there. And Israeli specialists trained in the operations of Mossad and Tsakhal have a serious competitive advantage: if the French have learned to collect information, then the Israelis - quickly, cheaply and masterly process it.

But Israeli specialists are hardly so interested in local oppositionists. The particular interest of the Israelis, who literally seized the spy business in Africa, is explained by the presence in many African countries of a rich and politically influential Lebanese diaspora. Thus, the Lebanese control the bakery business in the capital of DR Congo, Kinshasa, and the export of cocoa beans from Liberia, and in Monrovia and other cities of this country, in principle, it is difficult to find a decent non-Lebanese restaurant or hotel.

Almost all Lebanese businessmen and businessmen are Shiites from the third, least prosperous wave of emigration. Unlike not in the example of the more educated Maronite and Sunni Christians - doctors, architects, engineers - they did not gain much love and respect for Africans. So, in the "drug state" of Guinea-Bissau, they fell to mediation in the transactions of the Guinean military with Colombian drug cartels, they were also seen in the slave trade.

So anti-Lebanese sentiments and pogroms in Black Africa are far from uncommon, and many need a serious roof. Therefore, many businessmen operating in West and Central Africa are loyal to Hezbollah, decorate offices with portraits of Hassan Nasrullah and deduct considerable funds to this movement.

Tel Aviv, on the other hand, is important to monitor the mood of the Lebanese community and track all contacts and financial transactions with the Hezbollah movement, which has already had a hand in folding the autochthonous Shiite movement in Nigeria, led by Sheikh Az-Zakzaki. Agents of the movement were found in the most unexpected places - even surrounded by the Gambia dictator Yaya Jammeh, who flirted with the Salafis - a Sunni Wahhabi exodus, who nevertheless provided Hezbollah with platforms for business activity.

Especially the Israelis "dug in" in Kot-d 'Ivoire, where they work in the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense. Discussing religion and Hezbollah in Ivory Kot-d Lebanese circles is therefore particularly dangerous, and Ivorian Lebanese - 80% Shiite - try to avoid pro-Iranian cultural and religious centers, fearful of being under the radar of intelligence agencies and their Israeli advisers. These are the kind of spy games in the tropics.

1967: How "Mossad" divided Sudan

After learning on the radio about the victorious Six-Day War for Israel, the emboldened head of the rebels in southern Sudan, Joseph Lagu, wrote an ingenious and touching letter to Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol. Since we both do not love Sudan and Arabs, then let's not love them together? Instead of the prime minister, the letter was received by the Mossad agent David Ben-Uziel.

Meanwhile, the Lagu uprising grew, and Sudanese tanks and planes trampled on South Sudanese fields and huts, bombed and burned rebellious villages with napalm. But Ben-Uziel's arrival at Owini-Kibul in the company of two other Israeli intelligence agents changed literally everything. The worn junk changed uniforms, bows and arrows were supplemented by machine guns, machine guns, grenade launchers, bombs, mines, mortars and radios. It was difficult for the hardy Israeli to keep up with the fast-footed cattle breeders, but he brilliantly coped with the task. And his pupils idolized the agent: for the first time in more than three thousand years, someone saw in them equal people, and not human cattle.

Tarzan returned to Juba twice more - in 1984 and 2010, each time receiving the warmest welcome from South Sudanese leaders.

So South Sudan became the front of the "peripheral doctrine" of Israel. Within a couple of years, "Tarzan," or "Mr. John," as the rebels nicknamed him, had trained an 18,000-strong disciplined army. Soberly realizing that they still could not cope with the modern Sudanese army, the Mossadovtsy distributed pencils and paper to local children and began to print an English-language newspaper with propaganda and children's drawings, making it as authentic as possible. The drawings upset Kenya and Ethiopia, who held a tooth on Sudan. Cairo, on the other hand, openly panicked: three tortured Mossadites seemed ready to block the entire Nile and starve Egypt. And although the Israelis already left the south of Sudan in 1971, the growing South Sudanese war brought Israel a long-awaited reconciliation with frightened Egypt, the leaders of these countries - the Nobel Peace Prizes, and Sudan - the division and loss of most of the oil fields.
