An Israeli security assessment, reported by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS), warns that another attempt by Turkey to deepen its military and political foothold in Syria is expected and considered 'a matter of time.' The assessment underscores ongoing Israeli concern over Ankara's expanding presence on its northern border.
An Israeli security assessment, reported Sunday evening by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS), states that another attempt by Turkey to entrench itself militarily and politically on Syrian soil is a certainty — a matter of time. The assessment comes amid a broader Israeli focus on Turkish activities in Syria, where Ankara has been rebuilding infrastructure and the Syrian army, and deploying radar systems that could threaten Israeli Air Force operations.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Israeli warnings about Turkish entrenchment. In July, a security source told Kan that Turkey was building the Syrian army and infrastructure deep inside the country. Earlier this month, analysts warned that a Turkish advanced radar in Syria could limit Israeli freedom of action over Syria and expose flights to Iran. The assessment reported by Stein reinforces the view that Jerusalem views Ankara's moves as a strategic challenge that is likely to intensify.
