Turkish authorities arrested 15 people earlier this month who are accused of spying for Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency, Turkish media outlets reported on Thursday. 

Turkey’s Sabah newspaper reported that some 200 intelligence officers monitored the alleged Israeli intelligence network, which authorities say targeted both critics of Israel and foreign students living in Turkey.
