Gunman storms US factory, takes seven people hostage in Türkiye

ESTANBUL, 1 Feb. (DPA/EP) -

An armed man attacked an American factory this Thursday in the Turkish city of Gebze, located in the province of Kocaeli (northwest), and took up to seven people hostage in protest against the situation in the Gaza Strip.

A witness has informed the DPA news agency that the hostages have been held inside the factory's dining room while special forces have been deployed around the building to neutralize the armed man.

Several Turkish media have shared an image, not independently verified, in which a middle-aged man covered with a scarf is seen in front of a wall on which a Turkish and a Palestinian flag are painted.
