Firefight Breaks Out Outside Israeli Consulate in Istanbul
Multiple police units were dispatched to the scene around 12:15 PM local time. According to a Turkish-language outlet, “One of the attackers, who was armed with long-barreled weapons, was killed and two others were captured after being wounded.” The firefight also left two police officers injured.
A news agency noted that, given the consulate’s inactive status, “initial findings suggest the attack targeted Turkish police who always maintain a heavy armed presence in the area.”
Authorities are continuing to investigate the motive and circumstances surrounding the incident.
