Turkish Police Clash with Pro-Palestine Protesters at Incirlik Airbase as Demonstrators Demand Closure of US Airbase

Turkish police fired water cannons and tear gas at pro-Palestine protesters who were attempting to storm the Incirlik airbase in Adana, Turkey, which houses US troops. The large demonstration was organized by the Turkish humanitarian aid agency IHH in solidarity with Palestinians, calling for the airbase to be closed following the Israel-Hamas conflict. The protest happened before the scheduled visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Turkey to meet Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and discuss the situation in Gaza.
