An NF-5 training aircraft, part of the Turkish Air Force’s Turkish Stars Aircraft fleet, crashed into a construction site within Konya’s 3rd Main Jet Base Command during a routine training flight. Tragically, a military personnel operating construction equipment at the site was killed, while the pilot, Major Şükrü Gümüş, managed to eject safely using a parachute. Gümüş was hospitalized as a precaution, and authorities swiftly dispatched police, gendarmerie, health, AFAD, fire brigade, and search and rescue teams to the scene. Konya Governor Vahdettin Özkan also visited the site to assess the situation. The Ministry of National Defense confirmed the loss of a personnel member involved in runway repair work and announced the initiation of necessary investigations.
Gazans Celebrate Ceasefire Between Israel and Hamas
Palestinians celebrated the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas after indirect talks in Egypt, marking the first step of a broader peace plan involving hostage exchanges and Israeli troop withdrawals. Crowds, including children displaced by Israeli attacks, gathered around Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital to celebrate the end of the fighting. Residents in Maghazi Refugee Camp expressed hopes for rebuilding Gaza and establishing a Palestinian state. “Thank God, the war is over. Our homes were destroyed, and our children killed. We thank everyone who helped end this war,” said Yasser Abu Hein. Others shared optimism that Gaza would “return better than before.”
Israel confirmed that the ceasefire would begin following a cabinet vote later in the day.
