Tuesday, 16 November 2021 (YJC)_ Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said that that an Israeli couple was conducting "political and military espionage."
Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said on Tuesday that the Israeli couple arrested in Turkey for photographing the residence of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan were conducting "political and military espionage," adding that the case was now up to the court system to decide, according to Turkish media.
Natali and Mordy Oaknin, Egged bus drivers who live in Modi’in, took the photo of Erdogan’s palace while in the Camlica Tower, a television tower that opened earlier this year and is the tallest in Europe. A waitress heard them talking about it and reported them to the police.
Soylu additionally said that the couple both photographed and marked the residence, which led security forces to intervene. CNN Turk reported that three suspects in total were arrested in the case.
Turkish media reported that the couple shared the photo they took in a WhatsApp group and wrote down technical information about the tower.
