47 nabbed in Turkish operations against Daesh

Police arrest Daesh suspects in counterterrorism operations across the country

Turkish authorities on Saturday captured 24 suspected terrorists belonging to the Daesh terrorist group in counterterrorism operations across the country. 

Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on social media platform X that the operations dubbed Bozdogan-15, conducted under the coordination of intelligence and counterterrorism directorates, were carried out by police in the provinces of Aksaray, Bolu, Gaziantep, Istanbul, Yalova, Kilis, Sakarya, and Samsun.

Yerlikaya also congratulated the police personnel involved in the operations and shared footage related to them.

In 2013, Türkiye became one of the first countries to declare Daesh a terrorist organization.

The country has since been attacked by the terrorist group multiple times, with over 300 people killed and hundreds more injured in at least 10 suicide bombings, seven bomb attacks, and four armed attacks.
