Turkey firmly rejected Israel's assertions on Wednesday that it posed a threat by preparing to deploy troops to a Syrian air base, recently struck in an attack attributed to Israel by the U.S.
Israel's strike indicates a significant challenge to U.S. efforts to stabilize Syria under its new, Turkey-aligned leadership. Prime Minister Netanyahu's office emphasized that Israel acted to prevent Syria from breaching security agreements by allowing Turkish troop presence near Aleppo.
