Israeli Diplomatic Security

Three gunmen opened fire outside the building housing the Israeli consulate in Istanbul in a shootout with police that left one attacker dead and two wounded—later identified by authorities as brothers Onur C. and Enes C., one with a prior drug record—while two officers suffered slight leg and ear wounds. Video shows an assailant with what appears to be an assault rifle taking cover behind a bus as an officer falls, Turkish officials called the attackers “terrorists” and say one is linked to a group “exploiting religion,” Justice Minister Akin Gurlek has assigned three prosecutors, and Israel’s Foreign Ministry and U.S. officials condemned the attack amid regional concern.
