The day was dominated by Israel's attack on the Global Sumud Fleet, a Turkish-led aid convoy to Gaza, in international waters. The assault, reported by Aydınlık, Yeni Akit, and Gerçek Gündem, drew widespread condemnation from Turkish officials, including President Erdoğan and Foreign Minister Fidan, who labeled it piracy. Simultaneously, a major illegal betting and fraud operation led to the arrest of journalist Rasim Ozan Kütahyalı and 94 others across 16 provinces, with the story covered by Hürriyet, OdaTV, and Milliyet. A new corruption operation against the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality resulted in 57 detentions, while a mass shooting in Mersin left 4 dead and 8 wounded. In the evening, President Erdoğan held a cabinet meeting, announcing economic achievements and criticizing the opposition.
