Israel warns Erdogan after Syria strike
The article addressed the escalation of tensions between Israel and Turkey amid recent military developments in Syria. Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz accused Turkey of pushing toward dangerous adventures in Syria, warning that Israel will not allow its security to be threatened. Turkey responded by denying Israel’s claims that it is preparing troops to deploy at Syrian bases, reaffirming its commitment to cooperate with the Syrian government to maintain regional stability. These statements came after Israeli airstrikes on the Abu al-Zuhur base in Idlib, which were claimed to have targeted largely empty military facilities; Damascus confirmed that it was not coordinating with Turkey on this matter. Additionally, Israel informed Washington that its strikes aimed to prevent Turkey from deploying advanced weapons systems in the region, amidst Israeli warnings against any Turkish military presence in Syria that could threaten its security. On another front, Lebanon for the first time since Assad’s fall in 2024 handed over a former Syrian officer (Lieutenant General Adel Issa) to Damascus to face accusations related to murder and torture. This marks a precedent in security cooperation between the two countries.
