Turkey has refuted Israel’s assertion that a planned Turkish troop deployment triggered the recent airstrike on Syria’s Abu Duhur airbase in Idlib province. Ankara accuses Israel of attempting to legitimize an illegal attack on Syrian sovereign territory. The Israeli government claimed Syria was preparing to host Turkish troops at the targeted airbase, a claim Turkey strongly denies. The airstrike occurred on Tuesday, and Syrian state media reported the event. Turkey views Israel’s explanation as a justification for violating Syria’s territorial integrity. This incident escalates tensions between the involved nations and raises concerns about regional stability, with Turkey directly challenging Israel’s narrative.
