  "textContent": "A gunman was killed and two others wounded in a shootout on Tuesday with police outside the Israeli consulate in Istanbul, the local governor said, adding two officers were lightly wounded.\n\nTurkish public broadcaster _TRT_ had previously reported that two of the three attackers had been killed.\n\nAuthorities have identified the assailants.\n\nInterior Minister Mustafa Ciftci said they arrived in Istanbul by a rental vehicle from Izmit and one of the assailants was affiliated with an “organisation that exploits the region”.\n\nTurkish officials would not immediately reveal the group the attacker was linked to but Turkish media said it could be Islamic State group, whose members clashed with Turkish police in Yalova — which lies on the shores of the Sea of Marmara about 90 kilometres (55 miles) southeast of Istanbul.\n\nIS militants opened fire on police in Yalova in December, killing three officers and wounding nine others.\n\nOne of the two assailants in Tuesday’s shootout — who are brothers — has a drug record, the minister said.",
