Barek: Attacking Syrian Base Nearly Led to Israel-Turkey Clash
The U.S. special envoy for Syria and Iraq warned that targeting Abu al-Zuhur Air Base in Syria by Israel could escalate the situation to a direct military confrontation between Israel, Turkey, and Syria. The Israeli strike on the base, located 70 kilometers east of the Turkish border, has raised concerns that Turkish forces might respond mistakenly, especially since Turkey was not aware of the intended target of the strikes. Israel claims that the presence of a Turkish military facility capable of tracking aerial targets could restrict Israeli Air Force operations in Syrian airspace, while Turkey accuses Israel of attempting to destabilize the region ahead of Israeli elections. Currently, talks are underway to re-establish coordination and prevent clashes between Tel Aviv and Damascus, with the possibility of Turkey being invited to participate.
