Turkish media reported that an armed man stormed a factory of the American company Procter & Gamble near Istanbul and took a number of hostages. The gunman was holding 7 people hostage, indicating that the rest of the workers had been released.

Turkish security also closed the main streets in the region and imposed a security cordon around them. Since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, Turkey has witnessed many demonstrations in support of Gaza and demanding that the Turkish government take action to stop the "massacres"
