Early Tuesday morning, Syrian media reported four airstrikes targeting the runway of the Abu al-Zuhur military airport in northern Syria. While Syrian sources refrained from directly attributing the strikes to Israel, Lebanese channel Al-Mayadeen cited Syrian sources suggesting Israel was responsible. Israeli officials told Fox News that Israel had informed the United States ahead of the operation, sharing sensitive intelligence and warning that the regime of President Ahmad al-Sharaa would not follow the path of Bashar al-Assad's regime.
In recent weeks, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been working to consolidate control in Syria with the consent of President al-Sharaa and US President Donald Trump. Against this backdrop, Channel 13 reported over the weekend that Israel requested the US to carry out another strike in Syria, but unlike previous occasions, President Trump blocked the attack. This incident marks a further deterioration in Israel-US relations but also highlights the strengthening ties between Trump and Erdogan. The developments carry broader implications beyond the strained Israel-US relationship.
