Fear of action or several actions in several arenas:
Israel estimates that Iran will try to harm Israelis in Turkey over the weekend.
This assessment came up in a discussion held today (Friday) with the participation of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Mossad chief David Barnea and other senior members of the defense establishment.
It is estimated that several Iranian terrorist cells are scattered in the area.
The lack of success causes them to take greater risks and expand their efforts without wasting resources.

Yesterday's guidelines (beware of anyone knocking on the door of the room, and beware of business and tourism proposals) indicate the nature of the Iranians' plans.
The effects of the aggravation of the trip are felt on the ground: there are less than half of the Israelis in Turkey when the tension began.
As you may recall, earlier this week the travel warning to Istanbul was raised to level four - the highest level.
The background to the aggravation of the travel warning was defined as a "clear and immediate danger".
It was also learned that Israeli security officials thwarted an Iranian attack on Turkish soil.
Israel Today reported at the end of May that even before the National Security Council's warning, Israelis in Turkey received warning calls from a security source.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
