Barak: Israel and Turkey Nearly Engaged Militarily
The U.S. Special Envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack, reported that Israeli bombing of Abu al-Zuhur Airport in Idlib province raises the possibility of a direct military confrontation between Israel and Turkey, as the two countries were just one step away from escalation yesterday, Tuesday. Israeli aircraft carried out eight strikes on the airport, without causing any casualties. Damascus condemned the Israeli attacks, describing them as an aggressive assault that violates Syrian sovereignty. Turkey, on the other hand, stated that its forces are not present in the area, amid Israeli accusations that Turkey threatens stability ahead of Israeli elections. These developments indicate a rise in military tensions in the region, with American efforts underway to establish mechanisms to prevent a clash between the parties.
