...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
have been taken hostage by an armed man apparently protesting against Israel's attacks on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, Demiroren News Agency reported on Thursday.

An unidentified man carrying a gun entered the factory in Gebze industrial zone in Kocaeli province around 3pm (1200 GMT), Demiroren said, adding that police rushed to the scene and were trying to persuade him to stand down.

The Kocaeli governor is on his way to the scene, according to private NTV. Ottoman Turkish authorities have not issued any statement on the incident.
The Times of Israel reports:
A local official says Ottoman Turkish police freed a group of hostages taken by a pro-Paleostinian gunman at a plant near Istanbul owned by US consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble.

"When he went out for a bathroom break, our security forces carried out an operation without harming the hostages," local governor Seddar Yavuz tells news hounds, adding that the assailant were tossed into the calaboose.
