Latest on journalist Fulya Öztürk, who received threats

CNN Türk Special News Chief Fulya Öztürk and cameraman Halil Kahraman, who are covering the war between Israel and Hamas, were threatened by phone.

Announcing the threat she received on her social media account, Öztürk used the following expressions in her post:

"Friends, there is an important issue. I am using an Israeli line in Israel. I was just called by this 4-digit number '02-21'. A man with a low voice said, 'Are you in Israel? Take care of yourself, I will call again'.

They are also sharing my photos on Telegram pages. What does this mean?"

SHE REPORTED HER LATEST STATUS

Connecting to the CNN Türk broadcast to provide information about her latest status, Fulya Öztürk said the following:

"A 4-digit phone number, 0221, called me. I tweeted immediately after the call. It was a man with a low voice. He said 'Are you in Israel?' repeatedly. He said some other things, but I couldn't quite understand. He said, 'Take care of yourself, I will call again'. This phone call alone might not mean much, but there is a history to this. They were sharing my photos on Israeli Telegram pages.

Honestly, I didn't take them very seriously at first. I am using an Israeli line. Not many people know this, frankly. That's why I was surprised. Only the control room calls me. No other number calls. Therefore, I was surprised when I saw this 4-digit number. I called the Embassy immediately. I am talking to the necessary authorities. My team members and I are doing just fine right now."
