Turkey Reinforces Syrian Air Base After Recent Israeli Attack

 Turkey Reinforces Syrian Air Base After Recent Israeli Attack

Turkey and Israel talk about setting up ‘deconfliction’ line to prevent crises

Tensions between Israel and Turkey continue to soar after last week’s incident where Israel attacked the T4 air base in Tadmur, Syria, a base which Turkey was very open about planning to take over. Israel said the attacks on that base and others were “ a message to Turkey. ”

Turkish forces weren’t present at T4 at the time of that attack, but that’s changing, with reports that Turkey has sent reinforcements to the facility, and are planning to install a substantial air defense around it allowing them to defend against short, medium, and long-range threats.

Israel has expressed concern that Turkey’s presence at the base would harm their “ freedom of action ,” in which they’re attacking targets across Syria several times a week. The direct attack on T4 seems it may lead to Turkey doubling down on the facility, not caving to Israeli opposition.

Israel and Turkey have both been working on carving out their respective spheres of influence in Syria since the Assad government was ousted, but both have gone very different directions. Turkey has been working closely with the new Islamist government in Damascus, while Israel has been invading and occupying part of the south.

The concern these conflicting efforts and the tensions could lead to direct military confrontation is reportedly leading both nations to discuss a “deconfliction line,” effectively a hot-line to report on one another’s activities and avoid any accidental clashes, which could lead to a broader regional war.
