TOPSHOTS Left-wing militants protect themselves during clashes with Turkish police officers on July 26, 2015 at Gazi district in Istanbul. Turkey's military on July 25 carried out a new wave of air and artillery strikes against Islamic State (IS) jihadists in Syria and Kurdish militants in northern Iraq, in an escalating campaign Ankara says is aimed at rooting out terror. Tensions across the country are high, with police routinely using water cannon to disperse nightly protests in Istanbul and other cities denouncing IS and the government's policies on Syria. Violence in Turkey erupted after the killing of 32 people in a suicide bombing on July 20 in the Turkish town of Suruc on the Syrian border carried out by a 20-year old Turkish man linked to IS.
