Unusual report in Greece: Is Israel on its way to an unprecedented attack against Turkey?

Greek media outlet ProNews published an unusual scenario suggesting Israel is considering an attack on Turkish targets in Northern Cyprus, including Ercan Airport and a naval base in Kyrenia. The report is based on assessments and scenarios, with no official indication of an Israeli decision. The article notes that such an action could align with the escalating tensions with Ankara ahead of Israel's October elections.

Greek media outlet ProNews published an unusual scenario suggesting that a military confrontation between Israel and Turkey could spill over into the Eastern Mediterranean and involve Cyprus. According to the report, Israel is allegedly considering a scenario of attacking Turkish targets in Northern Cyprus, if Jerusalem concludes that Turkish military presence in the area threatens Israeli interests. The publication compares the possibility to the operational model attributed to Israel in the attack on the Abu al-Duhur airbase in Idlib province, Syria. According to ProNews, one of the scenarios mentioned includes striking Ercan Airport in Northern Cyprus and a Turkish naval base in the Kyrenia area. It is further claimed that a possible Israeli action could align with the escalating tensions with Ankara ahead of Israel's elections on October 27. ProNews claimed that such a conflict would not necessarily be limited to Turkish targets alone, and that the air defense systems of the Cypriot National Guard, including Israeli-made Barak MX systems, could also be affected. However, the report is based on assessments and scenarios presented by a Greek media outlet, not on a verified report of an Israeli decision or an approved operational plan. No official statement has been released by Israel, Turkey, or Cyprus confirming the claims at this stage.
