Mossad Chief Warns Syrian Officials Ahead of Israeli Strike in Syria
Roman Gofman, the head of Mossad, held talks with senior Syrian regime officials prior to an Israeli military strike in northern Syria. According to an international Reuters report, Gofman spoke with Syrian Foreign Minister Assad Al-Shibani on August 14, just days before Israel targeted military infrastructure in the region. During the conversation, they discussed the presence of Turkish forces in Syria. Gofman requested clarifications regarding the deployment of Turkish troops, which ultimately prompted the Israeli operation. This aligns with other reports indicating that Israeli officials had previously warned Syria about the potential hosting of Turkish forces or the deployment of technologies that could threaten Israel's freedom of action in the area.
