Story summary

In August, eight air strikes hit the Abu al-Duhur military base in Idlib, northwestern Syria, causing damage but no casualties. The strikes were attributed to Israel by Syrian state media, which quoted an unidentified military source as saying that Israeli occupation aircraft targeted the runway with eight strikes. This was reportedly a response to Syria's plans to allow Turkish troops to deploy at the base, which Israel said would threaten its security. In a statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office claimed that Syria was on the verge of violating an agreed-upon "status quo in security matters" by allowing Turkish troops to deploy there. The incident drew condemnation from Turkey, with the country's presidency accusing Israel of pursuing "expansionist and destabilising policies".
