US envoy warns Israeli strike on Syrian airbase risked Israel-Turkey clash
Israel struck Syria's Abu al-Duhur military airbase in Idlib province with eight airstrikes early Tuesday, an attack the US Ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barrack, said carried real risk of triggering direct military confrontation between Israel, Turkey, and Syria. Barrack noted Turkish forces were unaware of the Israeli aircraft routing and said the strike occurred in an area under Turkish observation.
