Turkey Slams Israel's 'Untenable' Claims After Strikes on Syrian Base
Turkey said Israel used baseless claims to justify airstrikes on a Syrian base that damaged runways and hangars but caused no casualties.
- On Wednesday, Turkey rejected what it called "untenable allegations" by Israel regarding its military position in Syria, following Israeli airstrikes on the Abu al-Duhur base near Aleppo on Tuesday.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office claimed Tuesday that Syria risked violating a "status quo agreed with Israel in security matters" by allowing Turkish troop deployments, which would threaten Israel's security.
- Turkey's presidency dismissed these "imputations" as politically motivated, accusing Netanyahu of pursuing "expansionist and destabilising policies" ahead of Israeli elections while pledging continued cooperation with the Syrian Government.

- These strikes follow worsening security tensions between Israel and Turkey, with Turkey now a primary ally to Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, complicating regional military dynamics despite existing communication lines.
