Guardia Civil confirms Moroccan intelligence agents were embedded among the migrants who breached Ceuta this week — spotted via border surveillance cameras conducting reconnaissance of the enclave's defenses, according to El Español, citing sources from the Civil Guard's General Staff.

This follows The Telegraph's report that Western intelligence suspects Rabat deliberately facilitated the crossing of roughly 60,000 people into the tiny Spanish enclave — widely read as retaliation over Madrid's gas talks with Algeria and friction over Western Sahara.

Spanish sources say this isn't new — the same pattern of embedded Moroccan agents was documented during the 2021 Ceuta crisis, when Rabat loosened border controls after Spain hosted a Polisario Front leader for medical treatment.

Worth remembering: Belarus was hit with sweeping EU sanctions and total diplomatic isolation for allegedly doing exactly this — "weaponizing migration" against Poland and Lithuania. Morocco, an EU/US/Israeli partner, faces no such consequences for staging a state-directed migrant surge complete with intelligence infiltration against a member state's own territory.
