Turkey announces the detainment of 34 individuals, accusing them of planning abductions and spying on behalf of Israel's Mossad. Turkish officials state the suspects were targeting Palestinians in Turkey. The move follows President Erdogan's recent warning against potential Israeli actions on Hamas figures in Turkey. Tensions between Turkey and Israel have escalated since the Gaza war, with Erdogan criticizing Israeli leaders. The arrests aim to prevent foreign intelligence activities on Turkish soil without proper authorization. Periodic raids against suspected operatives contribute to the strained relations, impacting the once-thawing ties between the two nations.
