Turkey pressed on with its "war on terror" on Tuesday, just five days before the country goes to the polls, detaining dozens of ISIL suspects and hitting Kurdish rebels across the border in Syria.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been playing the security card in the run-up to Sunday's vote with tensions running high over the renewed Turkish conflict and a massive bomb attack blamed on ISIL Takfiris.

Around 200 Turkish police launched a massive dawn swoop on suspected ISIL hideouts in the conservative central Anatolian city of Konya, detaining 30 Takfiris including one woman, media reports said.

Another 14 suspects were arrested in a similar operation in the town of Kocaeli, east of Istanbul, the Anatolia news agency said.

The raids followed a gun battle in a similar operation Monday in the southeastern Kurdish majority city of Diyarbakir which left two policemen and seven ISIL suspects dead.

Turkey has been on the hunt for ISIL extremists since the twin bombings on a peace rally in Ankara on October 10 that killed 102 people and wounded 500 more, the worst such attack on Turkish soil.

Erdogan, an increasingly polarizing figure in Turkey, on Monday vowed to press ahead with operations against all "terrorists" including ISIL and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu also confirmed late Monday that the military had struck Kurdish fighters across the border in northern Syria.

In an interview with A Haber television, Davutoglu said Turkey had warned members of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) not to cross to the west of the Euphrates river and if they did, Turkey would attack.

"We struck twice," he said, without giving any further details.
