Israel confirmed responsibility for a strike on a Syrian airbase near Aleppo, citing Turkish troop deployment as a violation of the status quo. The PM's office stated repeated warnings were ignored, and US envoy Tom Barak warned of potential direct confrontation with Turkey. Erdogan accused Netanyahu of destabilizing the region for electoral gain. Mossad director Gufman reportedly spoke with Syria's foreign minister about Turkey's presence before the strike. Netanyahu's message to Turkey: 'Don't.' Concurrently, Iran threatened to attack US assets in Europe if fighting escalates, and the IDF released war crimes probes, opening criminal investigations into the killing of Hind Rajab and paramedics in Rafah. Later, the IDF struck Hamas commanders in Gaza, killing at least nine, including a participant in the October 7 attack. The Chief of Staff visited Syria, warning against hostile forces near Israel's borders.
