Israeli travel warning for Turkey to remain until Iran terror cell caught – report
Israeli, Turkish security forces working to nab Iranian agents still thought to be in country; Ankara said to convey ‘blunt’ warning to Tehran not to use its territory for attacks
By TOI staff
Israel’s warning against citizens traveling to Turkey is expected to remain in effect until an Iranian terror cell is caught. Security services believe the Iranian cell is still in Turkey, and both Israeli and Turkish security forces are working to thwart any potential attack, the Kan public broadcaster said in an unsourced report on Wednesday. Israeli authorities on Monday urged citizens to leave Istanbul immediately, and reconsider non-essential travel to other parts of Turkey, warning that Iranian agents were ready to kidnap or kill Israelis there as Tehran seeks revenge for the slayings of officers blamed on Israel.
The National Security Council on Monday raised its warning level for Istanbul to 4, the highest, in which Israelis are explicitly told not to visit an area and to leave if they are already there. Countries with the level-4 “high threat” warning include Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Iran. Meanwhile, Ankara has conveyed a “blunt and forceful message” to Tehran that it will not allow Iran to use its territory to carry out or organize acts of terrorism against other states, Channel 12 news reported.
