Israel's foreign ministry confirmed that on Tuesday there was a "terrorist attack on the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul" and has thanked Turkish security forces for stopping it before the attackers were able to make it into the building.
"We appreciate the Turkish security forces' swift action in thwarting this attack," a statement from the ministry on X said. It added "Israeli missions around the world have been subjected to countless threats and terrorist attacks. Terror will not deter us." This after rapid gunfire rang out outside a building housing the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul.
Three gunmen armed with long-barreled weapons attacked the building, and quickly engaged in a firefight with Turkish police who were guarding the external premises.
Istanbul Gov. Davut Gul later announced that one attacker was dead, and the other two - said to be wounded are in custody. A couple of police officers suffered light injuries in the clash, however, some reports say one officer incurred a bullet wound.
