Israel warns Turkey against military expansion in Syria
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued a direct warning to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, accusing him of dragging Turkey into 'dangerous adventures' in Syria. The escalation follows recent Israeli airstrikes targeting the Abu al-Duhur military airport in Idlib, which struck runways and hangars.
Reports indicate the strikes were intended to prevent Turkey from deploying advanced weaponry and expanding its military presence at the base. Israel maintains that such developments would constitute a qualitative change in the security status quo and a direct threat to its borders.
Turkey has rejected Israeli accusations regarding its military position in Syria, labeling them 'baseless.' Meanwhile, Damascus has condemned the strikes as a 'dangerous escalation' that undermines regional stability. The situation highlights growing friction between Israel and Turkey over military influence and security arrangements within Syrian territory.
