The tensions between Israel and Turkey persist, with Defense Minister Israel Katz now accusing Turkey of getting “caught with its hand in the cookie jar,” speaking regarding the Syrian airbase strike by Israel. Katz says the Israel Defense Forces repeatedly recommended striking Syria’s Abu al-Duhur airbase after receiving “clear intelligence” that Turkey intended to conduct operations there that would endanger Israel’s security. Israel decided to issue a direct warning to Syrian leaders at the highest levels before approving the strike, Katz says, adding that the intelligence was also shared with the US. “Erdogan was caught with his hand in the cookie jar and forced to back down,” Katz exclaimed.
Meanwhile, the IDF continues to operate in Syria, with the Israeli military stating that it had fired at a terrorist in the southern part of the country who was considered an “immediate threat to troops.” The Syrian Foreign Ministry condemned the strikes, claiming the IDF struck and injured several people in a civilian vehicle traveling between Mazraat Beit Jinn and Beit Jinn in the western Damascus countryside. The ministry calls the strike a “flagrant violation” of Syrian sovereignty and territorial integrity and a breach of international law. READ MORE FROM SATURDAY
