==== 2011 attack in Istanbul ====
In July 2011, Italian newspaper ''Corriere della Sera'' reported, based on American and Turkish sources,<ref name="consul" /> that Hezbollah was behind a bombing in Istanbul in May 2011 that wounded eight Turkish civilians. The report said that the attack was an assassination attempt on the Israeli consul to Turkey, Moshe Kimchi. Turkish intelligence sources denied the report and said, "Israel is in the habit of creating disinformation campaigns using different papers."<ref name="consul">
<blockquote>Quoting Washington sources, the paper said the attack was meant to avenge the death of Iranian nuclear scientist Masoud Ali Mohammadi who was killed last year.&nbsp;... Turkish intelligence first attributed the Istanbul attack&nbsp;... to the Kurdish resistance, but later concluded that Hezbollah, working on behalf of Iran, had organized it. According to the report, three Hezbollah operatives arrived in Istanbul from Beirut to assassinate Kimchi.</blockquote>[http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4096901,00.html "Report: Hezbollah tried to kill Israeli consul."] ''Ynetnews''. 18 July 2011.</ref>
