- Israeli strikes hit an air base hours after a Turkish delegation visit, Syrian officials say
Israeli airstrikes hit the Abu Duhur air base in northern Syria early Tuesday, hours after a Turkish delegation had visited the facility for a rehabilitation review. Israel stated the attack was because Syria allegedly breached an agreed-upon security status quo by allowing Turkish troops to deploy there. Both Turkey and Syrian officials condemned the strike, with Turkey accusing Netanyahu of making allegations intended to legitimize unlawful targeting of Syria's sovereignty.
