Eight suspects have been arrested in a foiled Iranian plot to assassinate an Israeli businessman living in Istanbul, according to Turkish media.
An Iranian cell which included some Turkish operatives had planned to kill Yair Geller, who owns a company specialising in aerospace technology.
But Turkish intelligence had the hit squad under surveillance and the authorities swooped before they could carry out the plan.
According to a report in the Times of Israel, citing Turkish newspapers, the plot was intended to be in revenge for the killing of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh in 2020.
