In a recent incident at a factory owned by Procter & Gamble (P&G) in northwest Turkey, two gunmen took seven employees hostage. The incident apparently occurred in protest of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. The suspects entered the main building of the facility in Gebze, Kocaeli province, and sealed off surrounding roads. They demanded attention to the loss of life in the Palestinian enclave, highlighting the high casualty count resulting from Israel's military operation.
The local media released an image of one of the suspects within the factory. The photo shows a man wearing what seems to be a homemade explosives belt, accompanied by a handgun. Ismet Zihni, the husband of one of the hostages, revealed that he had spoken to his wife, Suheyla, who confirmed their situation as hostages. Zihni mentioned that she said they were fine before hanging up.
