29.01.2025 ⇢ Day Three Die Under Israeli Fire, Three Journalists Face Court
⌨

Morning began with two journalists, Seda Selek and Serhan Asker, being released under judicial control, while Barış Pehlivan remained in custody. The Kartalkaya hotel investigation expanded with the detention count reaching 28, as new testimonies revealed systematic safety violations.

By afternoon, developments shifted to international affairs as Turkey's Foreign Ministry announced three Turkish citizens had been killed in an Israeli airstrike near the Lebanon border. The announcement coincided with Erdoğan's meeting with Hamas delegation - their first post-ceasefire visit.

Evening news focused on two institutional changes: parliament established a commission to investigate the Kartalkaya tragedy, while the Health Ministry modified private hospital regulations. The Syrian transition received attention as Ahmed al-Shara was declared president at the "Victory Conference," marking a shift in regional dynamics.
