Seven people are held hostage in the canteen of a US company factory in Turkey. This was stated by a witness contacted by Dpa, who specified that Turkish special forces also arrived near the plant which, according to what the Demiroren agency reports, is located in the industrial area of ​​Gebze in the western province of Kocaeli. It all started at 3pm local time.

The factory employees are being held hostage by an armed man who, again according to what the agency reports, is protesting against the war in Gaza. Turkish media are publishing some images of the man, including posing in front of a wall where the Turkish and Palestinian flags have been painted.
