During questioning, the suspects reportedly confessed to working remotely for Israel's Mossad, the Turkish daily reported.

The suspects were identified as five Arabs and Two Turkish nationals and were named and photographed in the report, which described them as being part of "the Mossad's international network".

"The MIT also determined that the Arab-origin spies... were sent to Lebanon and Syria, in particular, to gather intelligence and identify precise locations where armed drones would strike," the daily said.

They allegedly confessed during questioning to collecting intelligenceÌýon a number of foreigners living inÌýTurkeyÌývia online routing, GPS tracking, infiltrating into their communication devices, andÌýsometimes physically monitoring them, according to the report.

The individuals were reportedly hand-picked by the Mossad and were trained abroad, the report said, adding that the network was believed to be linked to other cells composed of a total of 56 people, and MossadÌýoperatives were managing these cells.
