(CNN) -- Israel criticized Turkey Monday for a Turkish television series that depicted Israeli intelligence agents as baby-snatchers, heightening tensions between the two countries.
Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon summoned the Turkish ambassador to Israel to complain about the television show that Israel found offensive, a spokesman for Ayalon said.
Afterward, Ayalon tweeted that he had "Told Turk Amb that this is an intolerable situation which endangers the Jewish community, the Israel envoys and tourists coming to Turkey."
Israeli politicians and media outlets roundly condemned an episode of the popular Turkish soap opera, "Valley of the Wolves: Ambush," that depicted Israeli intelligence service Mossad spying inside Turkey and kidnapping Turkish babies. The show also showed Mossad attacking the Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv and taking the ambassador and his family hostage.
In a written statement, "Valley of the Wolves: Ambush" producer Pana Film said the show "will continue to tell the truth and expose the wrongs."
The incident occurred on the same day that Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan lambasted Israel for air strikes Sunday on Gaza, the Turkish state-run Anatolian News Agency reported.

Especialy from country in whose domestic cinematography Arabs,Palestinians and other Muslims in world are portrayed as terrorists,murderers etc. Not to mention Hollywood productions and what should Russians do to them.
