Announcing the arrests on social media, Minister Yerlikaya revealed details of "Operation Bozdoğan-11," a coordinated effort targeting ISIS cells within Sakarya. The operation resulted in the apprehension of 33 suspects.

Yerlikaya also reported the seizure of various incriminating materials, including four unlicensed pistols, two unlicensed rifles, a significant amount of foreign currency, logistical supplies, banned publications, and ISIS organizational documents.

The arrests mark a significant victory for Turkish security forces in their ongoing fight against ISIS. The investigation into the detainees and seized materials is likely to shed further light on potential ISIS activities within Türkiye. (ILKHA)
