Turkish authorities have announced the arrest of 90 individuals believed to be connected to the Islamic State group. This operation highlights ongoing concerns regarding extremist activities in the region.

The arrests occurred following a shootout outside the Israeli consulate in Istanbul on April 7, 2026, which resulted in injuries to two police officers. However, officials have not confirmed any direct link between the arrests and this incident.

As investigations continue, the Turkish government is likely to face scrutiny regarding its measures to combat terrorism and maintain public safety.
