Israeli army claims attack in southern Syria

The Israeli army has carried out an attack in southern Syria, claiming it targeted a person preparing an attack. According to Middle East Eye, an Israeli drone struck a truck in southwestern Syria in Beit Jinn.

A separate incident was reported by Dawn, in which Israeli warplanes attacked the abandoned Abu al-Duhur Military Airbase in eastern Idlib province in northern Syria. US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack said the intelligence behind this attack was wrong, stating that Turkey was not moving military assets to the airbase.

The Israeli army did not provide evidence to support its claim of targeting a person preparing an attack in southern Syria. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Turkish soldiers were trying to settle at the airbase in northern Syria, but Barrack said neither the US nor Turkey were informed of the attack in advance.
