Widespread protests erupted overnight in Istanbul following Israel's attack on a Palestinian camp in the Gaza Strip, local media reported on Monday.

Many demonstrators gathered in front of the Israeli Consulate General in the Levent neighborhood on the European side to denounce the attack, the state-run TRT broadcaster said.

Protesters urged the international community to intervene and stop the Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians.
