PROTESTERS PELTED THE CONSULATE WITH STONES, ATTEMPTED TO ENTER
Following Israel's bombing of the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital yesterday, citizens gathered in front of the US Consulate in Adana, carrying Turkish and Palestinian flags.
Representatives of non-governmental organizations, reacting to the bombing of the hospital, expressed their opposition to Israel and demanded an immediate end to the oppression.
Following the speeches, a group pelted the consulate with stones and attempted to enter the premises.
A police officer who intervened against the group was injured in the face.
Police teams subsequently dispersed the group.
