Turkey denies participation in the alleged Hamas plan to assassinate an Israeli minister
In recent news, reports have surfaced about an alleged Hamas assassination plot against Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. However, it is crucial to separate fact from fiction as this story has been entangled with disinformation and black propaganda.
The Shin Bet (Israel's security agency) and the Israeli army have conducted a joint operation regarding the alleged plot. According to Israeli authorities, the cell, allegedly led by a Palestinian activist from the West Bank, was apprehended and reportedly planned to target Ben-Gvir during a visit to Hebron's Cave of the Patriarchs using explosive drones. The group monitored Ben-Gvir's social media accounts, anticipating he would visit the holy site during Jewish holidays.
The cell received approximately $2,000 in funding from Hamas officials allegedly based in Turkey to purchase two unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), explosives, and a laptop. However, it is emphasized that the individuals apprehended stated they had no connection to Turkey, a fact also confirmed by Red Cross officials.
Israeli security forces announced the arrest of the cell members from the Hebron area, but it is important to note that a cell member was reportedly arrested by the Palestinian Authority before the planned attack date, further disrupting their alleged operations.
Contrary to some reports, the Shin Bet claims that the Hamas cell conducted a partially successful test run but abandoned their original plan when the explosives failed to detonate properly. The real aim of the news reports about the alleged plot, according to Turkish officials, is to create a deliberately misleading perception against Turkey in the international public opinion, and in doing so, to harm Turkey's policy on Palestine.
It is of utmost importance that the public and the relevant authorities do not give credence to this disinformation and black propaganda campaign targeting Turkey. Reports such as the one about Turkish CERN physicist Furkan Sengun, who was not involved in any reported Hamas assassination plot but was referred to as 'Daddy Sengun' in a separate news article, serve to further confuse the issue.
In a related development, it is worth noting that Fenerbahce and Domino's were hacked and sent 'no system is safe' notifications, but this fact is not related to the reported Hamas assassination plot. Similarly, Google experienced an outage in Turkey, disrupting search, YouTube, and other services, but this fact is also unrelated to the reported plot.
In conclusion, while the alleged Hamas assassination plot against Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is a serious matter, it is essential to separate fact from fiction and avoid spreading disinformation. The public and relevant authorities should be vigilant and verify information before sharing it.
