With latest news re escalations between israel, hezbollah, iran and gaza would you still consider Turkey safe this summer? (In the areas the do not have a Do Not Visit warning). Have seen Israelis being advised not to go at all now so wondered how about Brits and Americans?

Israelis are generally advised not to go anywhere. Especially in Muslim majority countries.
Turkey will be fine for you.
