Israel and Turkey have foiled multiple Iranian attempts on the lives of Israelis in Turkey in the last few days, N12 reported on Thursday.
The joint operation revealed an extensive Iranian terror cell in Turkey that planned large attacks.
Israelis who are in Turkey have been instructed to be extra careful, hide the fact that they are Israeli as much as possible and stay in constant contact with people at home.
Background

Turkey reported on Monday that the authorities had detained a number of Iranians suspected of having ties to the IRGC.
