Turkish Youth Group Attacks US Soldiers, Places Sacks Over Their Heads to Protest Israeli Action in Gaza
|
[RedState] In disturbing video out of Turkey Monday, members of the socialist and nationalist group Turkish Youth Union attacked American soldiers on the streets of Izmir in protest "against Israeli actions in Gaza and decades-long ’U.S. imperialism.’" The soldiers were reportedly serving on the warship the USS Wasp, which is in the Mediterranean supporting U.S. operations in Gaza.
The video shows men aggressively shoving a sack over a soldier’s head:
Fifteen assailants were arrested after the assault.
In a statement, the Izmir governor's office said members of the Turkey Youth Union (TGB), a youth branch of the nationalist opposition Vatan Party, "physically attacked" two U.S. soldiers dressed in civilian clothes in the Konak district.
It added that five U.S. soldiers joined in after seeing the incident, and that police intervened. All 15 attackers had been detained and an investigation was launched into the matter, it said.
The U.S. Embassy to Turkey confirmed the attack and said the U.S. soldiers were now safe.
"We can confirm reports that U.S. service members embarked aboard the USS Wasp were the victims of an assault in Izmir today, and are now safe," it said on social media platform X.
