Israeli influencer attacked in Istanbul mall after Turkish group files complaint

A pro-Palestinian Turkish organization published an 'exposure' about Israeli TikTok influencer Claudia Medina, accusing her of smuggling Israeli soldiers for plastic surgery, and filed a criminal complaint. Two days later, dozens of Islamist activists confronted her in an Istanbul mall, shouting anti-Zionist slogans, and she was rescued by security forces. This marks a notable escalation in anti-Israeli sentiment in Turkey, potentially affecting bilateral relations and the safety of Israeli nationals.
