Türkiye’s Directorate of Communications’ Center for Countering Disinformation denied claims that weapons and drone training had been provided to various groups in Türkiye, saying the allegations were baseless.

The center, known as DMM, said in a statement on its social media account that claims circulating in some media outlets and on social media did not reflect the truth.

The denial came after Israel’s public broadcaster KAN News reported Thursday that Hamas members had been conducting training in areas of Türkiye.
