The U.S. Marines were attacked by members of the Turkish Youth Union (TGB) due to anti-American and nationalist sentiments. The TGB is known for its opposition to U.S. military presence and policies, which they perceive as imperialistic and harmful to Turkey and other countries. During the assault, the attackers shouted slogans such as "Yankee go home," expressing their disdain for the U.S. military's actions and presence in the region.
The group accused the U.S. Marines of representing a broader American military force that, in their view, has been involved in conflicts detrimental to Turkish interests and those of other nations, including Palestinians.
