Anti-Israel activists confronted and verbally abused Claudia Medina Halfon, an Israeli businesswoman of Turkish origin, inside a shopping mall in Istanbul. The incident occurred after information about her presence was shared on social media, leading a crowd to surround her. During the confrontation, one activist reportedly called Halfon a "terrorist" and urged others to pay attention to her. Other activists allegedly referred to her as a "child killer" and expressed opposition to "Zionist supporters" being in Turkey.
Mall security intervened to de-escalate the situation and escorted Halfon from the premises. According to Israel's Channel 12, Halfon works in the tourism industry.
