Two U.S. servicemen from the U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship USS Wasp were assaulted in Izmir, Turkey.
A group of men were heard yelling, “Yankee, go home!” as they assaulted one of the Americans and put a sack over his head.
The men responsible for the attack were members of the Turkish Youth Union.
“The U.S. soldiers who carry the blood of our soldiers and thousands of Palestinians on their hands cannot pollute our country,” the group said on X.
The service members who were attacked are “now safe” and back on board the USS Wasp.
Turkey has since detained 15 people for the incident.
