The Mossad, Israel’s secret service, aided Brazil’s Federal Police in thwarting terrorist attacks planned by Hezbollah. Brazilian law enforcement initiated an intelligence operation that led to the arrest of two individuals linked to the terrorist group.
Dubbed “Operation Trapiche,” Brazilian police executed two temporary arrest warrants and 11 search and seizure warrants. The operations took place in the states of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and the Federal District.
The terrorists were affiliated with the Hezbollah terrorist group, which had intentions to attack buildings within the Brazilian Jewish community. According to investigators, the suspects may face charges under anti-terrorism laws, carrying penalties of up to 15 years and 6 months in prison.
Mossad collaborated with Brazil’s Federal Police intelligence to dismantle the terrorist network planning attacks against Jews. The office of Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, confirmed the Israeli secret service’s involvement in Brazil’s defense.

Hoffman said Ambassador Daniel Zohar Zonshine (photo) was meddling in Brazil’s domestic affairs
Published November 10, 2023
Israel’s Ambassador to Brazil Daniel Zohar Zonshine has been accused of meddling in local politics following his meeting with former President Jair Bolsonaro to watch a video of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, it was reported.
Workers’ Party Chairwoman Gleisi Hoffmann spoke on Thursday of a “spurious alliance” between the former head of state and the diplomat, which – in her words – “is even more repugnant because the safety and lives of Brazilian citizens” still waiting in the Gaza Strip to leave was at stake.
“Their manipulation of a conflict in which the actions of Brazilian diplomacy, guided by President [Luiz Inácio] Lula [da Silva] were directed from the beginning towards the construction of a peaceful solution, is totally condemnable,” Hoffman was quoted by O Globo as saying.
The ambassador has also been criticized by Justice Minister Flávio Dino for heralding the outcome of a Federal Police raid against members of the Lebanese Shiite militia group Hezbollah who were allegedly planning attacks in the South American country.
“Brazil is a sovereign country. Legal and police cooperation exists with countries of different ideological shades, based on international agreements” and “no representative of a foreign government can pretend to anticipate the outcome of an investigation carried out by the Federal Police,” said Dino.
Brazilian police arrested on Wednesday two people suspected of planning attacks against synagogues and Jewish institutions in Brazil who were allegedly contacted by Hezbollah, according to the confession of one of those arrested.
