Monday, Israeli Occupation officials called on citizens who are on Turkish soil to return, saying there is a concrete threat to citizens of Israeli Occupation by “Iranian terrorist operatives” there as well as in nearby countries.

 

Statements said that the threat is “concrete and immediate… Evidently, there is [an Iranian] infrastructure that has planned to act right now,” noting they could be targeted by Iranian attacks in retaliation for the killing of Revolutionary Guards Colonel Hassan Sayyad Khodai earlier this month.

 

Additionally, Israeli Occupation Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said in a statement, Monday, "There are several Iranian attempts to carry out terrorist attacks against Israelis vacationing there. We call on the Israelis not to travel to Istanbul or Turkey unless necessary."
