Israeli fighter jets targeted Abu al-Duhur airbase in northwestern Syria, prompting condemnation from the US, UK, UN, and regional countries. The Israeli government cited intelligence on Turkish military movements, but US intelligence found no basis for the claims. Turkey responded cautiously, framing the incident as a broader issue between Israel and the US. The attack reflects shifting dynamics in the region, with Turkey increasingly viewing Israel’s actions in Syria as a national security threat, contrasting with Israel’s desire for a weakened Syrian state.
