According to the newspaper, the arrested agents were divided into five groups of three men each. Some were said to have been involved in information collection – mostly related to Palestinians who oppose Israel. The Israeli spy agency was reportedly interested in Palestinian and Syrian students getting an education in the defence sphere, as well as in facilities that Turkey provided for the Palestinians.
Some of the agents worked as emissaries of Mossad and conveyed meetings with its representatives in foreign countries, such as Germany, Croatia and Kenya, Sabah Daily added.
