Turkish troops secretly stationed at Syria’s Abu Duhur air base just days before Israel bombed it — sparking a diplomatic firestorm. Israel claimed the strike was preemptive, fearing Syria would let Turkey permanently station forces there, but Turkey and Syria both condemned the attack as an assault on sovereignty.

Strategically vital and once a fighter jet hub, Abu Duhur sits near contested Syrian provinces — and this incident deepens the rift between Turkey and Israel, two former allies now locked in a bitter regional rivalry over influence and security.
