  • Interior minister: ‘Operation Heroes-49’ was carried out simultaneously across the country

ISTANBUL: Turkish authorities have detained 147 people suspected of having ties to militant group Daesh in operations across 33 provinces, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on Thursday.

The “Operation Heroes-49,” was carried out simultaneously across the country, Yerlikaya said on social media platform X.

Last month, one Turkish citizen was killed by two Daesh gunmen at the Italian Santa Maria Catholic Church in Istanbul. Turkish police captured the suspected perpetrators of the attack.
