Israel warns Turkey: 'Stop dangerous adventures in Syria'

Turkey says it will keep supporting Syria’s sovereignty, after Israel bombed a Syrian air base and accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of dragging his country into “dangerous adventures” there. The warning came as tensions between the two regional powers escalate over Syria’s future. Israel’s airstrike targeted a military site, which it says was linked to threats against its security. In response, Ankara reaffirmed its commitment to Syria’s territorial integrity, signaling a firm stance against Israeli military actions. “Turkey will continue to stand by Syria’s sovereignty,” a Turkish official said, without directly addressing Israel’s accusation. The exchange marks a sharp deterioration in relations, with both sides trading sharp words amid the ongoing conflict. Israel’s statement specifically named Erdogan, urging him to avoid further escalation. No new military moves have been announced, but observers say the risk of direct confrontation is growing.
