Israeli spy agencies Mossad and Shin Bet have uncovered an attempt by the Iranians to lure Israeli men.
According to a statement released Monday, Iranian intelligence has contacted dozens of Israeli men via fake Instagram accounts, drawing them to meet women all over the world hoping to kidnap them.
According to security sources, one meeting was foiled at the last minute after the person already left Israel to meet the alleged woman. Israeli security forces had warned him just before he was set off to the meeting.
The fake accounts portraying women of various ages and ethnicities have been monitored by the Israeli spy agencies.
“Activity of this kind was to be carried out in countries with diplomatic ties with Israel, such as Turkey, the Gulf states, and counties in the Caucasus, Africa, and Europe,” said a statement by the Israeli security service Shin Bet.
