Da vut Gul in the spotlight after the Istanbul attack near the Israeli Consulate; reports tie attackers to Izmit, two brothers. Note: This is crafted as a concise news-style line. If you want a version with a specific stance or more context, tell me.
On April 7, 2026, three armed attackers engaged in a gunfight with Turkish police outside the Israeli consulate in Istanbul's Levent district. One attacker was killed, two wounded and captured. Two police officers sustained minor injuries. No Israeli diplomats were present, as diplomatic ties have been frozen since late 2023 following the Gaza conflict. The attackers reportedly had links to a religious extremist group, possibly ISIS.
