Turkiye Detains 125 Suspected IS Militants in Nationwide Raids Amid Holiday Threat Warnings

Turkiye conducted nationwide raids on December 31, 2025, detaining 125 suspected Islamic State (IS) militants. This operation follows a week of similar raids that have apprehended nearly 600 individuals. The arrests were prompted by intelligence indicating IS planned attacks during holiday celebrations. Earlier incidents included a deadly shootout in Yalova where three police officers were killed and six militants died. Germany and Australia have issued travel warnings for Turkiye, advising caution due to terrorism threats.
