Turkish authorities have arrested Liridon Rexhepi, a Kosovar national allegedly linked to Mossad, in Istanbul. He is accused of managing the financial operations of Mossad in Turkey, including funneling money to field agents engaged in drone surveillance, psychological operations against Palestinian politicians, and intelligence gathering on Syria. Rexhepi was tracked by Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MIT) after entering the country on August 25 and was detained on August 30, where he reportedly admitted to his activities. This arrest comes amid heightened tensions between Turkey and Israel following the recent escalation in Gaza and Turkey's public support for Hamas. The incident may further strain diplomatic relations, although both countries have maintained their diplomatic ties despite ongoing disagreements. Turkish officials have previously arrested numerous individuals linked to Mossad amid public pressure over ties with Israel.
