‘Israel’ says Syria acceptance of Turkish troops posed “threat”

Netanyahu’s office said on Tuesday that Syria's acceptance of Turkish troops at its air base posed a "threat" to its security after ‘Israeli’ air strikes on the Abu al-Duhur air base in northwestern Syria.

"Israel and Syria agreed to a status quo in security matters, which Syria was on the verge of breaching by permitting Turkish troops to deploy at an airbase near Aleppo," the statement said.

It added that "Israel will not tolerate threats to its security, and would welcome a return to the status quo".
