Turkish authorities often use the word "neutralized" in their statements to imply that the terrorists in question either surrendered or were killed or captured.
In a weekly statement, Turkish Armed Forces said the counter-terrorism raids were carried out in eastern Şırnak, Mardin, Erzurum and Bingöl provinces as well as in northern Iraq regions from July 20-27.
Some 24 infantry rifles, 12 RPG-7 rocket launchers, ammunitions and explosives were seized during the operations.
It added the operations destroyed six shelters, caves and positions.
During the operations, two Turkish soldiers were martyred and seven others were injured, the statement said.
It also said a total of 4,861 people, who tried to cross the border illegally, have been held across Turkey over the past week.
The military said Turkey "resolutely" continues to fight against terrorist organizations, particularly PKK/KCK/PYD-YPG, and also Daesh, in the country and abroad.
