Secret Communications Between Israel and Turkey!

Channel 2 Israel revealed an Israeli military source stating that secret communication channels have been opened with Turkey, aiming to "avoid confrontation," following recent Israeli strikes on a military base in Syria.

The source said, "Israel does not wish to turn Turkey into an enemy," pointing to "secret channels between the two countries for message transmission and avoiding friction."

However, the source added that "when messages are ineffective, Israel is forced to act," seemingly indicating the possibility of future attacks.

Israel has set red lines regarding Turkish military presence in Syria, particularly concerning the deployment of air defense systems, drones, and missiles.

Israel launched an attack on the Abu al-Duhur base in Syria on Tuesday, stating it would not allow a military presence near its borders.

After the attacks, Turkey denied having any presence at the targeted base, asserting that "there was no Turkish military delegation at the Syrian airbase before or during the Israeli strikes."

Syria also denied Ankara's intention to establish a permanent military presence on its soil.

On Saturday, Israel's public broadcasting corporation (Kan) revealed that Israeli security officials informed the United States that Turkey is preparing to install radar at the targeted airport, followed by equipping it with air defense systems operated by Turkish soldiers.

The source noted that this move "could shift regional power balances."
