Syria is rebuilding its air force, and Israel fears Turkish involvement

Satellite images published by Kan News reveal reconstruction works at the al-Duhur military airfield in Syria, which had been inactive since Assad's fall. The IDF refused to comment on the strike attributed to Israel at the site. A senior Israeli official told Fox News that sensitive intelligence was shared with the Americans before the strike.

Satellite images published this evening in the Kan News broadcast reveal extensive reconstruction works at the al-Duhur military airfield in Syria, which had been completely inactive since the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime about a year and a half ago. At the end of May, works began to repave the runways, build hangars and warehouses, and activity indicating preparation for the deployment of systems in the southeastern part of the base was identified. It is possible that the activity is being carried out with Turkish assistance, which is helping to rebuild the Syrian army. Last week, Kan News reported on Israeli concern over the rebuilding of the Syrian air force and the Turkish entrenchment, which could harm Israel's freedom of operation in Syrian skies. The IDF refused to comment on the strike attributed to Israel last night at the airfield. Fox News quoted a senior Israeli official who said that sensitive intelligence was shared with senior American officials before the strike, and that President Ahmed al-Sharaa understands that he will not be able to act like the previous regime. The field is located about 70 kilometers from Israel's border.
