`I can confirm that a dual US-Turkish citizen was among those killed in the raid,` said State Department spokesman Darby Holladay.

`We have been in contact with the US citizen`s family and will provide all appropriate consular assistance,` Holladay told Ma`an. `Out of respect for the family, we will not comment further on this incident.`

One official identified the victim as Furkan Dogan, who was living in the Turkish town of Kayseri, The Associated Press reported. Dogan was 19 years old, according to the report.

A spokesman for Israel`s Foreign Ministry said the bodies were not identified before being flown to Turkey.
