Israeli soccer player Sagiv Jehezkel left Turkey on Monday, Turkish interior minister Ali Yerlikaya said on social media platform X after he was questioned by the police over a message he displayed on his wrist during a match alluding to the passage of 100 days since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.

"Sagiv Jehezkel, the Israeli footballer of Antalyaspor, left our country at 5:15pm (1415 GMT)," the minister said.

The Turkish police had detained Jehezkel overnight and freed him on Monday.

Justice minister Yilmaz Tunc had said prosecutors were investigating Jehezkel on a charge of "inciting people to hatred and hostility" for displaying a note written on his bandaged wrist saying "100 days, 7.10", alongside a Jewish Star of David emblem.

Israel's foreign ministry said Turkish authorities released Jehezkel from police custody and that he would return to Israel on Monday, and its defence minister denounced Turkey over the detention, accusing it of acting like an arm of Hamas.

Israel woman dies in twin car attacks

Raanana, Israel: Two Palestinians carried out coordinated car-rammings in central Israel on Monday, killing a woman and injuring 12 other people, police and medical officials said, as tensions soared over the more than three-month-old war in the Gaza Strip.

The police described the incident in Raanana, north of Tel Aviv, as a terrorist attack and said two suspects were under arrest.

The two are from the same family in Hebron, a city in the occupied West Bank, and entered Israel illegally, police said.

“They went out together and in parallel, to two different locations, took two cars and launched a series of rammings,” central district police chief Avi Biton told reporters in Raanana, a city north of Tel Aviv where the incident took place.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

At least one of the vehicles had been stolen, police said earlier.

Israeli TV showed scattered personal items on a pavement and said several children were among the injured.
