Istanbul Shooting: Gunmen Target Israeli Consulate

0:00On April 7, three gunmen launched a shooting attack outside the Israeli consulate in Istanbul's financial district, and it all went down and about. Ten minutes around 12.15 pm, one attacker got killed on the spot. The other two brothers ended up wounded, and two police officers took minor hits, one in the leg, the other in, the ear. Authorities identified the dead gunmen as UNIS ES, linked to a group they call religious terrorists, while the brothers are honor and NST, with. One having a drug record, they rolled up an rented car from Isman, firing rifles and pistols right by the tower, housing the consulate on the 7th floor. Meanwhile, the area was buzzing with businesses and thousands of workers nearby, but quit police response kept things from escalating worse. Eyewitnesses described gunmen jumping out and clashing hard with security, leaving bloodstains and bodies in the street. No Israeli diplomatic staff had been there for two and a half years, thanks to beefed-up security since the Hamas Israel War kicked off in 20, 23.
