Israel strikes al-Duhur airbase in Syria to prevent Turkish deployment

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Israel warned the United States that Turkey was preparing to deploy radar at al-Duhur airbase in northern Syria, possibly followed by Turkish-operated air-defense systems and personnel, Kan News reports. Israeli officials viewed the move as a potential shift in the regional balance of power. Israel later struck the airbase runways to prevent equipment or troops from arriving by air, and to warn President Ahmed al-Sharaa's government after earlier diplomatic messages went unanswered.
