Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on Thursday that authorities have detained 147 people suspected of having ties to terrorist group Islamic State in ‘Operation Heroes-49’ across 33 provinces.

The “Operation Heroes-49”, was carried out simultaneously across the country, Yerlikaya said on social media platform X.

Last month, Turkish police detained 70 suspects with ties to the militant Islamic State group in raids this week across the country. In late December, Turkish security forces detained 32 suspected IS militants that the state-run Anadolu news agency said were allegedly planning attacks on synagogues, churches and the Iraqi Embassy. A week earlier, police rounded up 304 suspected IS militants in simultaneous raids across Turkey in what appeared to be a security sweep leading up to the New Year festivities. With inputs from agencies.
