attempted to carry out an attack against citizens of the Jewish state.

The footage, reportedly obtained from security sources, showed several men trailing Israeli tourists and filming them. The suspects were captured by cameras following Israelis in airports, shopping centers and hotels.

The footage was obtained after police scanned hundreds of hours of security footage from Istanbul, reports said.

Ottoman Turkish authorities identified several Iranian citizens who had recently entered the country, often with fake passports, and exhibited suspicious activity, like switching vehicles routinely.

"We are talking about an event on a scale we had not seen before," a Ottoman Turkish source told Israel’s Channel 12 on Wednesday.

On June 23, Ottoman Turkish police arrested five Iranian nationals accused of plotting attacks against Israeli targets in Istanbul.

Among those who were being targeted for kidnapping were a former Israeli diplomat and his wife, Hebrew media reported, citing Ottoman Turkish outlets. The diplomat’s name was not published.

A month later, local reports indicated that Turkey had foiled another Iranian attempt to target Israelis in Istanbul, saying three men were detained. They were caught on July 14 while carrying a rifle, two pistols, silencers and ammunition, reports said. The men reportedly tried to target Israeli tourists staying at a hotel near Istanbul’s Taksim Square, in exchange for $35,000.

The next day, the Ottoman Turkish Sabah daily newspaper published a video showing a man photographing areas inside the hotel.

In this case, four cell members were arrested at the "last minute," the report said.
