In Yalova, it has been learned that the house of ISIS, where three police officers were martyred by terrorists, has been occupied by a family of three for the past year, but during last night's operation, it was discovered that the house was very crowded. Additionally, it has been reported that the Yalova police had previously raided the same house four months ago, seizing cell phones that belonged to the ISIS militants. Furthermore, a photo of the terrorist Zafer Umutlu has also emerged.
In Yalova, during an operation against the ISIS terrorist organization, 3 police officers were martyred in a clash between terrorists and police. 6 members of the terrorist organization were neutralized in the clash.
In an operation conducted by the Yalova Provincial Police Department's Anti-Terrorism Branch against individuals sympathetic to the ISIS terrorist organization, police officers Yasin Koçyiğit, Turgut Külünk, and İlker Pehlivan, who were on duty, were martyred as a result of the terrorists inside the building opening fire. Injured police officers Zekeriya Kınalı, Eren Çelik, Eren Işık Cihan Kadıoğlu, Yusuf Irak, and Akşemsettin Temel were taken to Yalova State Hospital for treatment. Among the neutralized terrorists were Zafer Umutlu and Haşem Sordabak.
POLICE RAIDED THE SAME HOUSE 4 MONTHS AGO
Salih Aslan Ayvaz, the neighborhood muhtar, stated that for the past year, the first floor of the two-story house on Seher Street in İsmetpaşa Neighborhood, where ISIS terrorists were located, was occupied by terrorist Zafer Umutlu, his wife, and child. He mentioned that the house was very crowded on the night of the raid. Ayvaz recounted that he saw the terrorist for the first time during a raid conducted by the Yalova police 4 months ago, noting that there were 3 people in the house at that time, including his wife and child. The house had a living room, a children's room, and a bedroom, resembling a normal home. The police had seized the terrorist's broken mobile phones. "The next day, when I saw him walking on the street, I was very surprised," he said.
A CROWDED GROUP WAS COMING AND GOING TO THE HOUSE
Neighborhood Muhtar Ayvaz expressed that the house was very crowded during the operation last night, stating that police friends had also gone to the same house last night, and in the ensuing clash, 3 of our police officers were martyred. "This is truly a very sad event for us. I asked the homeowners, and they said that a family of 3 had been renting the house for a year. We, as the neighborhood muhtarlığı, are experiencing a lot of difficulties regarding these issues. We are saddened. Because you see that our youth are going this way and that way. We really expect our government to find a solution to this. Neighbors said that a large group was coming and going to this house on some days," he said.
TERRORIST'S SOCIAL MEDIA POST ABOUT BURSA
It has emerged that Zafer Umutlu, a member of ISIS who was neutralized during the operation carried out by security forces in Yalova, had shared a video indicating his location in the İnegöl district of Bursa months ago. In another post, the terrorist was seen sharing a wall clock featuring the flag of the ISIS terrorist organization. In the post, he stated, "I pray to Allah to keep my hatred alive. I swear that when I get the opportunity and power, I will not spare any infidel on earth."
