Israeli Intelligence Eyes Turkey's Secret Military Expansion in Syria
(Israel Hayom) Itay Ilnai - Turkey has steadily cemented its military and diplomatic footprint in Syria, operating under Israel's watchful gaze. There is a sweeping Turkish initiative to funnel an endless stream of military hardware into Syria and cement its influence there. The collapse of the Assad regime created a vacuum in Syria that Turkey eagerly filled. Erdogan is forging an immense military machine armed with strategic capabilities and cutting-edge technology. The lessons of Oct. 7 dictate that adversaries must be judged by their capabilities, not their perceived intentions. Turkey's strategic alliances, industrial base, and economic prowess easily dwarf those of Iran.
