The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement expressed "full solidarity" with the Turkish leadership and people in two separate statements issued on Thursday.
According to Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya, the assault is "highly likely" linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). He indicated that more details regarding the attackers' identities and evidence would be shared as they become available.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also condemned the "heinous attack," emphasizing that it targeted the country's "survival, peace, and defense initiatives." (ILKHA)
