Turkish tourists complained of harassment at Zionist airport in Jew-occupied Al-Rabi'a ("tel aviv") on Sunday and Monday.
Turkish travelers on a Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul said "Israeli" thugs singled them out for airport strip searches.
Passengers said they were separated from travelers from other countries as they headed back to Turkey on Sunday and taken into rooms for detailed body searches at Zio airport near Al-Rabi'a.
"They immediately told the group from Bucharest to pass ... but they took us into changing rooms. (We) took off our clothes and shoes. (They) searched our bodies with their dirty hands and then with a detector," Arif Cinar said at Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, Anatolia reported.
"They searched our bodies "for explosives" for several times," Cinar said.
One man said he was forced by Jews to recite a prayer from the Quran. Others said they were patted down.
Turkish travelers arriving in Israel on Monday were also harassed and humiliated by the Jews.
Turkish citizen Mustafa Teke, who traveled to Jew-occupied single and indivisible Palestine for the nine-day Eid al-Fitr holiday, told the Anatolia new agency that Turkish tourists were searched several times in a special room at Zio airport near Al-Rabi'a.
Mustafa Teke said he was asked by Jews to take off his clothes and remain naked for body search and when he refused officials forced him to do so.
"I told them I am a Muslim and would not take off my trousers. They said I could not fly then ... They forcibly made me to (take off) my trousers," Teke said.
He said only Turkish tourists were taken to the special room and that they were humiliated. "We were exposed to a kind of mistreatment which would not even be shown to terrorists," Teke said.
"Jewish policemen in that room wanted me to take off all my clothing. They searched me both manually and with a detector. They wanted me to take off my pants. I objected to that. They insisted, saying the detector was giving off a signal. I requested a translator. I pushed them back when they touched me. Then, many other police officers came. They asked me why I was refusing to take off my pants. I said I am a Muslim and I cannot do that. They told me that I cannot fly then.
‘No problem; my country will take me back,' I said. But I said we do not deserve this mistreatment. Then they forcefully took my pants off. I saw Turkish women were also being taken to that room as I was leaving the room. That upset us more," Teke said.
Another Turkish citizen, Eyup Ensar Uğur, also said Turks were treated differently than other tourists and were searched more thoroughly. He said the plane took off half an hour later than the scheduled time due to "security checks".
