On Tuesday, Turkish authorities arrested eight people in a security operation targeting the terrorist organization “ISIS” in six provinces, where the operation was concentrated in the state of Şanlıurfa.
On the instructions of the Prosecutor’s Office, the teams of the Directorate of the Anti-Terrorism Branch of the Şanlıurfa Gendarmerie Command have begun work to detect terrorist organizations and arrest their members.
After the security authorities identified the addresses where the people were suspected, eight people believed to be members of the Islamic State were arrested in simultaneous operations that included several provinces, including Istanbul, Mersin, Konya, Sakarya and Bolu.
During the address search, 10 digital items were seized, according to data from the Anti-Terrorism Branch Directorate teams.
This comes in the context of the Turkish government’s ongoing efforts to combat terrorism, as the Turkish Interior Minister, Ali Yerlikaya, announced on the first of this month the arrest of 41 people suspected of belonging to the “ISIS” organization in a large-scale security operation that included 12 states.
