Since October 7, the number of global terrorist attacks planned by Iran against Jews and Israelis has more than doubled compared to the previous year, with over 50 attempted attacks thwarted by the Mossad, according to a report from the Jerusalem Post.

While only a few incidents have been publicized, many more remain undisclosed, indicating a significant increase in Iran’s activities.

In September 2023, Mossad Director David Barnea revealed that 27 incidents were successfully prevented, underscoring Tehran’s intensified focus on harming Jews and Israelis worldwide. This escalation highlights the extensive resources Iran has mobilized toward this objective.

The Mossad employs a variety of strategies to counter these threats. It often collaborates with foreign intelligence agencies, leveraging shared interests in regional security. However, it also operates independently and sometimes partners with countries that may not have strong diplomatic ties with Israel. These nations, while not explicitly supportive of Israeli interests, are generally concerned about foreign terrorism occurring on their soil.

Countries such as Cyprus, Germany, Denmark, and Turkey have participated in these cooperative efforts. In addition to thwarting attacks, the Mossad has facilitated intelligence-sharing that enhances the capabilities of these partner agencies.

In May, the agency announced its role in preventing terrorist attacks against Jews in Sweden and Belgium, further illustrating its proactive stance in safeguarding global Jewish communities.

The increased activity underscores not only the challenges posed by Iranian ambitions but also the complex web of international cooperation required to counter such threats effectively. This situation calls for heightened vigilance and ongoing collaboration among nations to address the evolving landscape of global terrorism.

Concerns also grow over warnings of renewed attacks against Jews on the anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks. Israel has already issued security alerts in Israel and internationally for Jews ahead of the key date.
