As many as eight Daesh suspects have been detained in the southeastern province of Kilis where shells were fired on a school a day ago, killing one student.



Police detained the suspects during the search of a vehicle of people who entered Turkey illegally.



On Monday, one student was killed and a number of people injured after shells were 'most probably fired from Syria' on a school compound in the border province Kilis, according to Mayorship.



Intensified operations over attack



Previously, Turkish police detained 10 people suspected of links with Daesh in the central province of Konya.



Days before the operation in Konya, 60 other Daesh-linked suspects were captured in operations in several other Turkish cities.



The operations against Daesh have intensified as a part of heightened security measures after the bloody terror attack in Istanbul.



The suicide bombing targeted Istanbul's Sultanahmet Square, a major tourist attraction, and left 10 people dead and 15 others wounded on January 12.
