Turkish intelligence uncovers ‘ghost’ Mossad network


After monthslong surveillance, Türkiye’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) has exposed a "ghost" cell of 56 operatives spying on non-Turkish nationals in the country on behalf of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.

In a collaborative operation with the Anti-Terrorism Branch of the Istanbul Police Department, the agency’s counterintelligence unit apprehended seven people who all confessed to working for Mossad in their testimonies, according to information gathered by the Sabah newspaper.

According to MIT, the seven suspects are among the 56 operatives linked to a total of nine networks, which are each overseen by nine Mossad agents based in Tel Aviv and have the ability to operate on an international scale.

Documents from MIT revealed that the spies were gathering biographical intelligence on foreign nationals through an online routing method, tracking vehicle movements via GPS, hacking into password-protected networks based on Wi-Fi devices and finding private locations.

The operatives also physically followed certain targets determined by Mossad to surveil and photograph one-on-one meetings, an operation supervised by an Israeli of Arab origin, Soliman Agbaria.

The cell, consisting of citizens from various Middle Eastern countries, used several fake websites in multiple languages, chiefly Arabic, to obtain technical locations and real IP addresses, MIT discovered.

All communication between Mossad agents in Türkiye and abroad was done through single-use mobile phone lines owned by fake persons in Spain, England, Germany, Sweden, Malaysia, Indonesia and Belgium.

One of the group’s leaders, a Mossad spy codenamed “Shirin Alayan” whose real identity MIT was unable to determine, used a German phone line to instruct a Palestinian named “Khaled Nijim” to set up bogus news platforms like “najarland.com, almeshar.com, nasrin-news.com and hresource.co.uk.” These websites featured exclusively pinpoint articles to attract targets who would then click on virus links, enabling the network to infiltrate their phones.

The Istanbul unit of the network was provided cyber training and technical support remotely by a Priyanshi Patel Kulhari, the 24-year-old owner of Tel Aviv-based spy software firm Cyberintelligence International Private Ltd, MIT said.

Kulhari, who was in constant contact with the Mossad spies, determined how to infiltrate targeted phones and which news articles would be pushed for the target to click.

Far-reaching branches

MIT further found that Mossad sent its spies of Arab origin in Istanbul to especially Lebanon and Syria to gather intelligence and mark locations to be struck by armed drones.

Some Syrian and Lebanese agents working in the city were also deployed to Beirut to explore the Haret Hreik municipality and gather information. The agents discovered the exact coordinates for a building occupied by Lebanese Hezbollah, as well as the identities of the group’s high-level military and political figures residing on the third floor of the building.

Another network leader codenamed “Abdulla Qassem,” whose real identity also remains unknown as he currently resides in Israel, introduced himself as a Jordanian Arab living in Sweden and instructed remotely a man called Zeyd Saadeddin to take pictures and analyze the security level of a strategically significant building in the Qudsiyeh district of Damascus.

Moreover, Mossad sent dozens of spies, including Turkish nationals, on secret three-stop touristic trips to first Serbia, then Dubai, and finally, Thailand’s capital Bangkok, three places that don’t require a visa for Turkish citizens. In Bangkok, the operatives would be taken to a Mossad center to learn espionage.

There, one Turkish man named Okan Albayrak, a fugitive Mossad agent, was taught to compose reports, surveil targets, evade and escape intelligence services like MIT, document photographs, observe and analyze intelligence, and put satellite tracking devices on vehicles.

MIT also learned that Mossad developed overcomplicated methods and conducted various operations in Istanbul to evade Turkish intelligence.

Mohammed Filli and Abdullah Fellaha, Mossad spies from Aleppo, discovered the office of Hisham Younis Yahya Qafisheh, the Syrian CEO of a real estate investment company in Istanbul’s Kağıthane district and planned a mugging to seize his phone and a burglary at Qafisheh’s apartment in the Başakşehir district to steal his computers and documents.

Filli and Fellaha were also involved in surveilling a foundation and several Egyptian nationals in Istanbul, including a dissident journalist, a doctor and a clerk at a foreign exchange office.

Operating logic

While Mossad held so-called bureaus in various business fields in Malaysia, Indonesia and Sweden, all operations were managed from the Israeli capital.

Israeli intelligence tests the loyalty and abilities of its field agents by having them watch fake targets dubbed “whites” like mosques, churches the Grand Bazaar and the Egyptian Bazaar, Istanbul’s best-known tourist spots. Then the field agents are promoted.

Activities of a spy include five levels during which the operative is put through remote operational training. Once they complete the fifth level, the spy is deployed in an overseas post to be trained as a professional intelligence officer.

Turkish media also reported in May that MIT busted another cell of 15 Mossad agents based in Istanbul and made six arrests.

The agents were also found to be trained in Europe by Mossad executives and tasked with watching a company and 23 individuals with trade ties to Iran and targeted by Israel.

Last December, Türkiye exposed another group of seven people spying on Palestinians for Mossad, which used their intelligence to launch online defamation campaigns and threats against Palestinians.

The MIT, in cooperation with Turkish police, has uncovered a string of espionage networks in recent years, including one working for Russia, and thwarted a plot by Iran to assassinate Israeli citizens in Türkiye. Operations have also led to the discovery of a story by Iranian intelligence operatives to kidnap Iranian dissidents who took shelter in Türkiye.

Ova osma je najbolja.

Odlican dokaz da se mijesanje gena isplati. Divizija nema pojma o zenama pa tvrdi suprotno.

Danasnji Turci su genetska mijesavina "Anatolaca" grcke kulturoloske provenijencije koje su tu zatekli (iako je to vec tad bio bas fin miks svega i svacega), Slavena, "original azijskih Turaka", i prije svega Arapa i Perzijaca (Perzijanaca?).

Jednom sam opstio s jednom ovakvom. Nije bila bas ovako mocna ali priblizno. Kurdkinja. Dovoljno je da kazem da je s pola noge u gipsu plesala na shanku kad smo se opijali i samo gruhnu s njega na patos, i nista, ustade ko da nista nije bilo.

koji ti tu dokaz vidiš?

današnji Turci zaista jsu etnička mješavina, ali im original Turci i Arapi nisu tu ništa popravili.

Anadolci, Perzijanci iSlaveni su svi odredia ljepši (bili) prije nego su se smiksali s ovima.

Uostalom, Mala Azija je bila centar kulture i znanosti tisućljećima prije dolaska oriđinal Turaka i Arapa

Poznato je da ne mrzim Ruse ni sekunde ali brate ruznijih muskaraca, oni uz one Fince, u zivotu u Evropi nije bilo. To pitaj takodjer koju god zenu da hoces. A Rusi, oni maleni, zuti, blijedi, su ti oridjinale Slaveni. Na Balkanu slavenski geni uopste nisu dominantni. To nas je spasilo pa nam prosjek kod zena vani nije los. Ubio bi se da izgledam ko Putin.

Osma slijeva, šta je ono sliku ti ljubim, ono liječi sidu.

slavenski geni su dominantni na zapadnom balkanu, na istočnom nisu.

a kakvi god ruski muškarci bili, za Turke i Arape su premija. i uope nisu niski:

U Rusiji postoji disproporcija između lipih žena i ružnijih muškaraca.

Ne znam baš odakle ta visina i ima li ikakve veze sa Slavenima. Recimo vidiš da ovdje nema na mapi nikakve korelacije između slavenstva i visine. Germani još i da, ali Slaveni bome nisu.

Evo ja sam recimo 100% siguran da su Zagorci u prosjeku najsvjetloputiji Hrvati. Samo je ovdje toliko učestalo da ljudi imaju plavu kosu, oči i vrlo blijedu put. No isto tako sam siguran da su Zagorci u prosjeku niži od ostalih Hrvata, posebno Hercegovaca i Dalmatinaca koji su pak u prosjeku dosta crniji od sjevernjaka.

te stvari su dosta pod ujecajem okoline, ljudi pogrešno gledaju gene kao nešto fiksno i nepromijenjivo.

Nizozemci su bili najniži u Europi, a sad su skoro najviši.

Okolina tu igra ogromnu ulogu. Ljudi koji su živjeli u gusto naseljenim prostorima s oskudicom hrane su obično niži, pogotovo ako je još i hladno bilo, jer je tamo visin bila evolucijski minus, u oskudnim uvjetima su visoki teže opstajali. A kod nas nemaš nigdje ko u Zagorju takvu gustoću naseljenosti, još na nekvalitetnom tlu i doslovce spremnost da se susjeda ubije ako pomakne među 5cm. K tome je pola godine magla, što preferira svjetlu put radi imuniteta.
Dalmatinci i Hercegovci žive u osunčanijim krajevima, povijesno gledano manje oskudnim i kao posljedica osmanskih haranja slabije naseljenim. Tu je logičnije da će ljudi biti tamnoputiji i viši.

Kod nas je zapravo paradoks osmanskih ratova da je sjeverozapad postao najgušće naseljeni prostor. To je kraj koji je poprilino loš. Kvaliteta tla oskudna, zime dosta gadne, magla često (manja insolacija loša i za rast biljaka i za imunitet), česta klizišta i tuče, ljeti strašno sparno, harale malarije i tuberkoloze na smjenu.

Mediteransko-dinarski prostor je zapravo daleko bolji i kvalitetniji za život ljudi.

Austrijanci su Zagorje isto zvali kinderland

Osma slijeva, šta je ono sliku ti ljubim, ono liječi sidu.

Znači u nekih 500-1000 godina se promijeni fenotip osjetno?

Nisam znao. Kada su to Nizozemci bili najniži?

Nije sjever neplodan. Zagorski reljef je brdovit, iako brdoviti kraj je iskoristiviji ako gledaš površinu (čisto zbog reljefa), Varaždin i Međimurje je ravnica. Ništa lošije od Slavonije. Varaždinska i Međimurska sela su često izgledom slična slavonskim (kuće uz cestu, relativno pravilan oblik naselja). Za ostalo se slažem. Ima dosta magle, doduše to važi za veći dio Hrvatske. Gustoća naseljenosti je uvijek bila veliki problem, zato je puno ljudi otišlo u Slavoniju.

Zato mi ima smisla ona teorija da su Skandinaviju i slične krajeve s užasnom klimom naselila plemena koja su poražena u ratovima za bolje krajeve. Nema šanse da bi na Island išao netko tko ne mora.

Kakav kinderland? Što je to?

ako su selekcijski uvjeti gadni, da. ali ne treba zaboraviti da mi imamo i dio gena populacije koja je ovdje mnogo dulje od 1000 godina i koja je već bila sigurno poprilično različita kad su Slaveni došli. Na sjeveru smo se miksali s drugačijim starosjediocima nego na jugu

početkom 20. stoljeća, jučer praktički

varaždinsk i pdoravski kraj ima dosta lošiju smeđu zemlju od crne slavonske. k tome daleko češče tuče i pijavice jer im sa Alpi dođe hladni zrak usred ljeta i sve pohara.

naselili su ih kad je gustoća naseljenosti bila velika i stvarala se oskudica. Recimo Island su naselili Vikinzi iz Norveške kad je kod njih već bila gužva. Nisu bili poraženi doma, nego je doma bila gužva. Često su najhrabriji onda krenuli u takve ekspedicije. To je često bio i način da se izbjegne unutarnji sukob, krene se u ekspanziju.

zemlja djece. Kad je sagrađena pruga do Zagreba, putnici iz austrije su prolazeći kroz Zagorje bili posvuda vidjeli djecu. Pa su zvali kraj kinderland (malo i pospredno). Probaj zamislit, prije 130 godina TFR je bio preko 6, a gustoća naseljenosti daleko veća nego na jugu. Djeca po svuda.

Kelti na sjeveru, nasuprot Ilira na jugu?

Baš zanimljivo, imaš neki link o tome?

Ja sam Island naveo samo kao primjer klime. No ovo se odnosi na kompletan sjever Europe - Skandinavija, Pomeranija, Baltički krajevi, Britansko otočje, Rusija. Jedna je stvar kad je baš velika gustoća pa se prelijeva, iako i onda obično gledaš da se naseliš na bolju zemlju, a ne da iz jedne rupe upadneš u još veću.

Puno gora klima nego kod nas, puno lošiji uvjeti. Plemena su uvijek ratovala oko zemlje i gubitnici su išli na lošije. Mislim, nama je to kao Slavenima možda ružno za reći (pošto Slaveni dolaze sa sjeveroistoka), ali prilično sam siguran da je tako. Pobjednici su bili na Mediteranu, Levantu itd.

Zašto recimo bijelci nisu naselili Kongo ili Burundi, a jesu Južnu Afriku? Jer svi narodi idu tamo gdje je bolja klima i zemlja, ako ikako mogu.

Zato su i Slaveni krenuli prema Balkanu u seobi naroda. Bolje je u Hrvatskoj, nego u Poljskoj.

Odakle ti to da su zvali kinderland? Iz neke knjige ili? Zar nije i u Austriji bio visok TFR u to vrijeme?
