Turkish police were injured after suspected Islamic State militants opened fire during a counter-terrorism raid in Yalova province, escalating into a fierce clash. Seven officers were wounded as special forces moved in to secure a house believed to be sheltering IS militants. The operation comes amid heightened security across Turkey, following nationwide raids that detained more than 100 suspects over alleged ISIS-linked plots targeting Christmas and New Year celebrations. Authorities say the group had called for attacks on non-Muslims during the holidays, reviving fears linked to past ISIS violence in Turkey, including the deadly 2017 Istanbul nightclub attack.
