KUALA LUMPUR: A Mossad network in the country, whose runners are believed to be locals, is understood to be headed by a local woman in her mid-30s.
It is understood that the woman was trained as a private investigator before she was believed to have been recruited by a Mossad agent, just before 2018.
This was the same year Mossad agents gunned down Fadi Mohamed al-Batsh, 35, a Palestinian professor and member of Hamas.
The Malaysian woman was subsequently sent for training abroad, including in Europe, to master the art of espionage.
It is learnt that for this, the woman was given some RM120,000.
In last month’s snatch-and-grab in Kuala Lumpur, the woman was believed to have set up a surveillance team to trail two Palestinians. It is also believed that she was on the Israelis’ retainer for €2,000 a month. She is said to have several local men working for her.
