Turkish police had allowed pro-Palestine protesters to hold a demonstration in a designated area near an airbase that houses US forces, but some allegedly tried to enter the facility, according to Turkish media.
The Incirlik airbase in southeast Turkey is owned by Turkey but is also used by the US Air Force and occasionally the UK's Royal Air Force, providing them with strategic access to large parts of the Middle East.
Turkish police on Sunday used teargas and water cannon to disperse the pro-Palestinian rally.
