"During simultaneous operations carried out this morning by our police forces in 21 provinces, we apprehended 357 suspects linked to ISIS," the minister said on X, using another name for the group. "We have never given the slightest chance to those who try to bring this country to its knees through terrorism." Three police officers were killed Monday during an operation against the group in Yalova, in northwestern Turkey. Turkey shares a 900-kilometre (560-mile) border with Syria, where the jihadist group remains active.
