- US Marines were attacked by a mob of Turkish nationalists in western Turkey, with 15 people arrested.
- The incident occurred in Izmir, where the Marines were assigned to the USS Wasp.
- The attackers belonged to the Youth Union of Turkey, affiliated with the nationalist Vatan Party.
- The Marines were 'physically attacked' and were identified as 'soldiers' by authorities, but are actually US Marines.
- A video shows the Marines in civilian clothing yelling for help as they were restrained by anti-American men, with one attacker throwing a plastic bag on a victim's head.
- The crowd chanted 'Yankee, go home!' during the attack, and the US Embassy confirmed the incident, saying the Marines are safe.
- The Youth Union of Turkey claimed the attack was 'deserved' and criticized US support of Israel, saying US soldiers 'carry the blood of our soldiers and thousands of Palestinians on their hands'.
