Turkish security forces have detained an individual identified as Serkan Çiçek, who is alleged to have been operating as an agent for the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad. The operation, conducted in Istanbul in the early hours of Friday, was the result of a coordinated effort between Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MİT), the Public Prosecutor’s Office, and the city’s Counter-Terrorism Branch.
A Coordinated Security Effort
Codenamed “Mitron,” the mission was executed based on intelligence gathered by Turkish authorities. According to reports from Turkey’s Anadolu Agency, which cited security sources, the investigation revealed that the suspect was in communication via the internet with an individual named Faisal Rashid, described as an element of the “Israeli Cyber Operations Center.”
