The main prosecutor's office in Istanbul issued arrest warrants for 46 suspects in an investigation related to the alleged activities of the Israeli Mossad agency in Turkey.
According to Turkish authorities, 33 individuals described as "Mossad personnel" have been arrested. The arrest operation took place in eight different provinces against those suspected of being involved in espionage activities for Israel.
