Turkey and Qatar have concluded a joint ground forces exercise, according to a report circulating in Israeli intelligence channels. The drill took place in the same week as a separate Turkish air force exercise with Egypt, reflecting Ankara's expanded regional military cooperation.
According to a report from a monitored Israeli intelligence desk channel, Turkey and Qatar have completed a joint ground forces exercise. The report did not specify the timing, location, scale, or duration of the drill. It noted that the exercise occurred in the same week that the Turkish air force conducted separate joint drills with Egypt. As The Zioneer previously reported, the Turkish-Egyptian air exercise concluded last week, and the two countries held their first joint air drills in 13 years earlier this month. These parallel exercises signal deepening Turkish military engagement with both Qatar — a traditional ally — and Egypt, with which Ankara has been rebuilding ties since the 2021 rapprochement. No additional details on the Turkey-Qatar drill are yet available, and the report remains based on a single source.
