A group of Turkish nationalists attacked U.S. Marines in Izmir, Turkey, on Monday, prompting the arrest of 15 people.
The assailants, members of the Youth Union of Turkey, chanted "Yankee, go home!" and accused the Marines of supporting Israel, criticizing their involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The attack was caught on video, showing the Marines being restrained and harassed by the mob.
The U.S. Embassy in Turkey confirmed the incident and thanked Turkish authorities for their quick response and ongoing investigation.
