Turkey detains over 30 ISIS suspects as raids continue
ANKARA — Turkish authorities detained 31 people suspected of having ties to the Islamic State, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on Monday.
The operation, dubbed “Pigeon Hawk-46,” involved raids over the past week across six provinces, including Turkey’s largest metropolis Istanbul, the capital Ankara and the Mediterranean resort province of Antalya, Yerlikaya said on the X platform.
“We will not give respite to terrorists,” he said, sharing edited footage of security forces raiding apartments and placing suspects into police vehicles.
