Turkiye's Minister of Interior, cited by Hurriyet on Tuesday, reported on x.com that two police officers sustained minor injuries, and three alleged terrorists were neutralized while trying to break into the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul. One of the suspects died from his wounds.

The three suspects attempted to enter the building, but the police officers and security guards at the entrance became suspicious of their intentions and noticed that they were carrying long-barrelled weapons. After the police ordered them to stop, the three opened fire. The police shot two of them, but the three suspects took cover behind a nearby car and fired at the police again.

Ciftci posted on x.com: "The individuals arrived in Istanbul from Izmit in a rental car. It has been established that one of them had ties to an organization that exploits religion for its own purposes. The other two terrorists are brothers, and one of them has a criminal record for drug offenses."
