Episode Details

Israel strikes Syria’s Abu al-Duhur airbase near the Turkish border, damaging runways and hangars—no casualties—but keeps quiet for 20 hours before claiming responsibility. The move comes amid fears Syria may allow Turkish troops to station at a key base near Aleppo, prompting Israel to act preemptively. U.S. Ambassador Tom Barrack calls it an “unnecessary escalation,” while Turkey denies any presence there, accusing Israel of fabricating excuses. Syria condemns the attack as a violation of sovereignty, noting the runway was rebuilt for peaceful purposes. Tensions simmer as Israel pushes back against U.S. plans to sell F-35s to Turkey, and Syria had previously sought a U.S.-Israel-Syria coordination center to prevent such clashes—rejected by Israel.
