Israel has warned the United States about Turkey's alleged plans to deploy defense assets in Syria, according to reports from Israel's state-owned Kan TV News. Israeli security officials reportedly informed Washington that the Turkish move could significantly alter the regional balance of power. Israeli officials identified Abu al-Duhur military airport in northwest Syria as a potential site for the alleged deployment.
The Tuesday strikes by Israeli air force further strained relations between Turkey and Israel. US Special Envoy for Syria Tom Barrack stated that Israel did not inform the US of the attack in advance. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz attributed the strikes to intelligence about Turkey's intentions to endanger Israel's security.
Katz said Syria had received a diplomatic warning before the strike, and the IDF was authorized to carry out the attack after the request was unheeded.
