Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was “dragging Turkey into dangerous adventures in Syria,” Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Thursday, following an attack on a Syrian ?airbase earlier this week. Israel struck the Abu al-Duhur airbase in Syria on Tuesday, warning that Syria was ?on ?the verge of violating a “status quo agreed with Israel in security matters” by ?allowing Turkish troops to deploy at the airbase.
Katz, in a post on X, said his country would not “allow any entity to threaten its security.”
Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani said he made clear to Israel there were ?no plans to set up a Turkish military base and that the site was being rehabilitated for use by ?the Syrian Air Force.
