Recent Israeli strikes on Syria were meant to warn Turkey against building up a military presence in the country’s air bases, the Times of Israel reported on March 31.
The T4, Syria’s largest air base, and the nearby Palmyra military airport in the eastern Homs countryside were both hit by Israeli strikes earlier in the month.
Turkey showed interest in taking over both bases, and even discussed the matter with the Syrian Islmaist-led interim government right after the fall of the Assad regime.
The Walla news website, citing Israeli security officials, reported on March 23 that Syria was holding contacts with Turkey regarding the transfer of areas near Palmyra to the Turkish military in exchange for economic and military support for the interim government.
Israel invaded the buffer zone adjacent to the occupied Golan Heights in southern Syria just hours after the collapse of the regime on December 8. For the next few days, it launched some 500 strikes, destroying much of the country’s military capabilities.
A senior Israeli defense official told The War Zone last week that “any significant Turkish military presence, especially in strategic locations like Palmyra, could be perceived as a threat to Israeli security interests.”
In a report published on April 1, the Jerusalem Post quotes another Israeli official as saying that “If a Turkish air base is established in Syria, it would undermine Israel’s freedom of operation. This is a potential threat that we oppose.”
An Israeli political official told Maariv on the same day that Turkey was working to limit Israeli aerial operations in Syria. However, the official noted that Israel was not interested in a confrontation with Turkey.
It’s worth noting that these reports came after Israel’s Channel 12 revealed in mid-March that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, through his advisors, was pushing Israeli media to portray that “a confrontation with Turkey on Syrian territory was inevitable.”
Turkey will certainly continue its work to establish a lasting military presence in Syria. Israel, from its side, will likely attempt to reach some understanding with Ankara over the situation in the country. While a confrontation between the two seems unlikely, they could engage in a proxy war. In this case, the Syrian interim government will face serious consequences for its alliance with Ankara.

nobody gives a fuck what “israel” is kvetching on about. “israel” is a blight on humanity and should be treated as such
it would be hilarious if the jihadist cigarblew up right in israels face and turkey did supply this new syrian regime with a nato grade airforce and military. that would be an interesting turn of events. in that case turkey will prove to be a much bigger rival to the zionists then iran ever was. turkey has the ability to push back israeli ambitions in syria. but we have to see what will happen.
so far turkey has mainly been serving israeli interests by destroying syria rather then actually doing anything to deter israeli expanionist ambitions against syria lebanon and the palestinians in gaza. only some occasional barking from erdogan without action.either turkey is su bve r vient to israel and all in on it or they actually do the right thing and push back against israels expanionist ambitions
impossible: al jewlani is a mossad agent.
i hope they eliminate each other. turkey is as much a threat to peace with their terrorists as anyone else. israel and turkey at each other would serve them both right. imagine them bombing each other to the stone age. neither would be missed.
its for show, working together fine since the 1980s, fighting each other by cleaving hts into 2 or 3 parts. spilling syrian and jihadi blood mostly the others will be heros / contractors / collateral. no biggie.
exactly what i have been saying the jews c ontrol both sides turkey is run by and serving the jews and so is azerbaijan. they all serve israels interests. no action to save the palestinians from g eno or action to save syrian christians alawites and druze
erdogan will never dare to attack israelies. turkey is a nato member. attacking israeli when you have us soldiers on your territory isn ‘t a good idea.
what will happen?… oh no you don’t say we shivering 💨💨

syria now controlled by isis: mass slaughter continues, upwards of 50,000 killed
by pamela geller – on march 30, 2025
the jihadists took over syria with turkey president erdogan’s arms, training, and cash.
according to an article published in the trkiye newspaper on monday march 17, 2025, “turkey will train the country’s army in two military bases it will establish in syria.”
i agree isis is an israeli / cia / mossad / mi6 / corporate banker creation . and yes, evil are thier ways . but you are not the only one here .
i am screaming for help in syria who is now controlled by isis. starting from al-sharaa who is an isis leader who is acting as a new president. he announced the government today and he put his fellow isis leaders inthe main cabin positions like the ministers of defense (murahf abu qasra), foreign affairs ( asaad al shibani), interior (anas khatab), justice ( mazhar alweiss), energy ( mohammed albashir). all of them are well know isis jihadists.
carry on screaming you can take it….
the minister of interior, anas khatab, has multiple jihadist books. one of them is called: islam is a religion of jihad. it was dedicated to the jihad leaders including osama bin laden, ayman al zwahiri, abdullah azzam, abu mus’ab al zarqawi and mustafa setmariam nasar. here is a translated copy.

new scenes of massacres on the syrian coast against alawites
genocide in the syrian coast: a cry for justice
what is happening in the syrian coast against the alawite community amounts to genocide in all its forms: physical, biological, cultural, economic, and political.
hayat tahrir al-sham, led by al-jolani, is carrying out systematic extermination practices including:
– mass executions and field killings with tens of thousands of victims, including women, children, and the elderly
– arbitrary detention of more than 30,000 alawites subjected to torture in al-jolani’s prisons
– daily kidnappings, especially targeting women – destruction of religious shrines and prohibition of religious practices– economic marginalization, dismissal from jobs, assassination of academic elites, and shutting down service institutions all these crimes are documented in hundreds of videos confirming that the new ministry of defense is responsible for these atrocities
where members and leaders from hayat tahrir al-sham and affiliated factions appear boasting about their crimes against alawites. despite similarities with previous international genocides (rwanda, srebrenica, yazidis) that prompted international intervention, the international community still remains a spectator to the alawite tragedy. the pressing moral question:
how many children must be slaughtered, how many women enslaved, and how many young men must be butchered before the world takes action? today we await a strong moral stance from the security council to stop these brutal massacres. we hope the world’s conscien ce awakens before it’s too late… every passing day means more bloodshed and lives lost! “the european commission will provide new humanitarian support to syrians, both inside syria and in neighbouring countries,
for an amount of €235 million for 2025. following the collapse of the former government in damascus, the eu is working at all levels to boost humanitarian aid delivery, including through launching humanitarian air bridge flights.” — european commission, january 17, 2025.
“international donors on monday pledged almost $6.5 billion in aid for syria, hoping to encourage the new leaders of the conflict-ravaged country toward a peaceful political transition after the ouster of
president bashar assad in december. from my sources on the ground.
“there is undeniable media distortion and a deliberate effort to obscure the scale of atrocities here. the casualty figures being circulated (both for fatalities and injuries) are entirely unrealistic. the actual death toll ranges between 70,000 to 100,000.” “the syrian coast massacres against the alawites and the christians did not stop. also, kurdish girls and women, alawite girls and women are kidnapped from
jableh, lattakia and homs, taken to unknown destinations, no one knows about anything.” from confidential sources:
while the killings persist, their scale has diminished.
they now occur sporadically in different areas, claiming roughly 50 to 100 lives daily through kidnappings and executions.
can you fathom over 50,000 civilians slaughtered in just two days?
all in the name of *jihad*? it’s beyond horrifying.
we pray this nightmare never repeats. personally, i believe your work may have saved my life, and the lives of countless others who are still here today. without your relentless efforts, the jihadists would have reached us and massacred us all. there is undeniable media distortion and a deliberate effort to obscure the scale of atrocities here. the casualty figures being circulated (both for fatalities and injuries) are entirely unrealistic. the actual death toll ranges between
70,000 to 100,000, but these numbers are systematically suppressed for multiple reasons, including: 1. foreign complicity: the turkish and qatari governments are actively supporting the new jihadist-led syrian regime under the terrorist leader jolani. this support includes a coordinated media disinformation campaign to downplay casualty numbers and falsely attribute crimes to factions loyal to the former syrian government—a narrative that is utterly false.
2. systematic cover-ups: the jihadist regime is erasing evidence through horrific methods: burning victims’ remains, dumping bodies at sea, and burying them in mass graves. they strictly prohibit documentation of casualties, and all entities involved in medical aid or body recovery are complicit in this cover-up, operating under the regime’s authority.
3. suppression of truth: journalists and activists here risk execution or forced disappearance if they attempt to document these crimes.
this climate of terror makes verifying accurate figures nearly impossible. that said, pamela, entire villages and neighborhoods have been wiped out. in some cases, 100–300–1000 individuals per village were executed—sometimes targeting only men, other times massacring entire families, including women and children. for example, the residential district of [ hay al-qusur ] in baniyas (tartus province) was completely eradicated. this is not an isolated incident;
hundreds of villages and urban areas have suffered similar fates, proving the death toll is catastrophically high. i will continue investigating and attempt to compile verified lists of casualties. i’ll also keep you updated on developments that could support your reporting. let me emphasize: **i have no political allegiance**. my sole aim is to expose the truth. however, i must insist on **absolute anonymity** for the time being. the jihadist factions here have perpetrated unspeakable
atrocities —they would not hesitate to eliminate me if my identity were exposed
this cemetery is dedicated to the victims of the genocide perpetrated by al-julani’s terrorists in the city of baniyas on the syrian coast. i hope you will send international committees to investigate and verify these massacres.
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, but so what? what are you kvetching about? (((your kind))) orchestrated this for 10 years. you should be pleased with yourself.
the cia is likely working on regime change in turkey as usa’s goal has become zionist control of all of the mid east. the usa tries to save money domestically then enslaves it’s taxpayers it to a group of money and power mad killer zionists who are doomed to fail.
israel should bomb turkiye as well..😁.
no, it will just be a proxy terrorist war between 2 rival bunches of pet head choppers.
israel is scared attack to turkey lol
😂😂 i know
i hope israel bombs turkey as you say because then turks will actually fight against the jews for once supporting the palestinian cause. but i dont think it will happen turkey has been a ratface country only picking fights with its neighbors showing ottoman nonsense on the maps making enemies flooding europe with islamist crimi nals. destroying syria and armenia so israel can expand its ambitions. flooding greece with islamist cancer. turkey has so far been a cancer tumor to europe
what is israel going to do, bomb innocent women and children in turkey like they do in gaza and lebanon. turkey has a large air force and good air defense. the israeli air force only attacks those who can’t shoot back. turkey will have their air bases in syria and there’s nothing israel can do about it. like erdougan said they will not allow syria to be broken up into kurdish, druze, sunni and alawite statelets
turks should form a coalition with russia, china, iran and lebanon, invade syria, kill all islamists, install a syrian patriotic goverment and than build up syria as an anti us and anti zio fortress armed to the teeth.
no, they should take over occupied palestine and kick out the chosenites. re establish the ottoman empire. make turkey great again. if chumpo can do it, why not erdogan?
there are no innocent turk civilians, only terrorists and subhuman animals
time for dicator erdogone to go and turks to pay the price for supporting terrorism in syria
a good turk is a ded turk
hatred doesn’t resolve conflicts.
erdoggy and the beast nutnyahoo…better than fake wrasslin. get it on already…we got the popcorn!!!!
2 scorpions fighting in a bottle. robbers squabbling over the spoils.
not much the jews can do about turkey 🇹🇷 however much the jews wish otherwise!
