In a significant crackdown on terrorism, Turkish security forces have successfully detained 28 individuals suspected of having ties to the notorious Daesh terrorist group. The arrests were made during separate anti-terror operations conducted in Istanbul and the Aegean province of Izmir.
On Friday, security sources disclosed that 21 terror suspects were captured in Izmir, while an additional seven were apprehended in Istanbul. The operations, a result of meticulous investigative efforts, targeted individuals believed to have engaged in activities on behalf of Daesh in conflict zones.
The anti-terror operation in Izmir, led by Turkish police, was carried out as part of a broader probe by prosecutors against Daesh. The 26 suspects targeted in Izmir were allegedly involved in activities for the terrorist group in conflict zones in the past. The suspects were found to be operating collectively, engaging in meetings with individuals having connections to the terrorist organization in Izmir.
During the operation, 21 suspects were successfully taken into custody. Authorities are actively pursuing the remaining five suspects, intensifying efforts to ensure the complete dismantling of the alleged terrorist network.
This latest development underscores Turkey’s unwavering commitment to combating terrorism and maintaining national security. The ongoing efforts of the security forces signal a proactive stance in addressing potential threats posed by individuals associated with the Daesh terrorist group. The nation remains vigilant as authorities work tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of its citizens.
