In a severe incident escalating regional tensions, an Israeli airstrike has resulted in the deaths of three Turkish citizens who were attempting to illegally cross from Lebanon into Israel. Turkey's foreign ministry condemned the attack in the strongest terms, though it did not specify when the incident occurred.

Efforts are currently underway to return the bodies of the deceased to Turkey. The foreign ministry took this opportunity to reiterate its demand for Israel to end its aggressive policies, which they argue disproportionately ignore human life and serve to increase tensions in the Middle East.

This incident has further strained the already fragile relations in the region, with calls for restraint and adherence to international human rights standards becoming more urgent.
