Operation Martyr Yalçın

The United States condemns recent attacks by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) Kurdish militants in Turkey, a senior U.S. diplomat said on Twitter, adding there was "no connection" between Turkey's strikes against the PKK and a deal to intesify the fight against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). 

Two Turkish soldiers have been killed and four others have been injured in a car bomb attack in the southeastern province of Diyarbak?r as retaliatory operations on Turkish security personnel have left deaths and injuries across the country amid cross-border airstrikes in Syria and northern Iraq.

A car bomb attack killed two Turkish soldiers and injured four in the Kurdish-dominated southeast of the country, after separatist rebels warned they would no longer observe a truce after Ankara's air strikes on their positions in Iraq, officials said July 26.

Has the Iraqi Kurdish leader expressed "solidarity" or "displeasure" during a phone conversation with Turkey's Prime Minister for Turkish airstrikes in northern Iraq? The two leaders have released contradictory statements.

Turkish fighter jets carried out new series of airstrikes on targets of Islamic State (IS) in Syria and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in Iraq late on Friday and early on Saturday.

This was announced by the Office of the Turkish Prime Minister on Saturday, Anadolu Agency informs.

Turkish warplanes launched attacks on camps of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in northern Iraq late July 24, Do?an News Agency reported.
   
The attacks followed airstrikes into northern Syria, where Turkish fighter jets targetted Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) bases.
   

Turkish jets carried out their first air strikes against Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) targets in Syria in the early hours of July 24, since the beginning of the civil war there.

The Office of the Turkish Prime Minister announced that three F-16 fighter jets carried out airstrikes on Islamic State (IS) targets in Syria on Friday.

The jets took off from the 8th Main Jet Base in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir and dropped four guided bombs on two IS headquarters and an assembly point in Syria.

The Turkish lira weakened to 2.74 against the dollar on July 24 after Turkish fighter jets pounded Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) targets in Syria and as police reportedly raided suspected ISIL and Kurdish militant locations in Istanbul overnight.

At 05.15 GMT, the lira stood at 2.7415, weakening from 2.7315 late on July 23.

Thousands of police officers have launched raids to arrest suspected members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) following a wave of deadly violence in Turkey, killing one suspect.
