Turkey has been attempting to deploy radars in Syria for weeks, the Jerusalem Post reported on December 25, citing two Western intelligence sources.
One of the sources told the Post that Turkey is planning to transfer the radar systems to the Syrian military. The sources noted, however, that Turkish personnel would remain responsible for operating the systems, giving Ankara access to and control over the intelligence gathered.
Following the fall of the regime of former President Bashar al-Assad, Turkey emerged as the main ally of Syria’s Interim Government that was formed by Islamist rebels it backed for years.
Ankara is now reportedly playing a leading role in the rebuilding of the country’s military which lost nearly all of its advanced offensive and defensive capabilities as a result of an Israeli primitive attack that took place after the collapse of the Assad regime last year.
The attack, codenamed “Operation Arrow of Bashan,” wiped out the country’s entire earlier warning and air defense network.
In October, a Bloomberg report revealed Turkish plans to arm the Syrian military with advanced weapons, including air defense systems.
The weapons will be deployed in northern Syria to avoid any tensions with Israel in the south, according to the report, which noted that this plan is part of broader understandings with the Interim Government to support efforts to rebuild the Syrian military.
Turkey already has an extensive air defense network in northern Syria, built all the way back in 2020 following a deadly confrontation with the Assad regime.
Jerusalem Post’s latest report suggests that Ankara is now working to expand this network deeper into the country, under the guise of equipping the Syrian military.
Earlier this year, Israel attacked multiple bases in central and western Syria as a part of efforts to bar Turkey from establishing a military presence outside the northern region of the war-torn country.
The Jerusalem Post noted in its report that the deployment of Turkish radars would significantly restrict Israel’s freedom of action in Syrian airspace, and would even complicate any future attack on Iran.
Interestingly, the Turkish plan to deploy radars in Syria was revealed amid reports of progress in talks between Israel and Syria, which stagnated for months.
Talks on a security agreement between the two sides saw significant progress in recent weeks, a Syrian source close to President Ahmad al-Sharaa told i24News, attributing the breakthrough to efforts made by United States President Donald Trump.
It is possible that the agreement, which will include a diplomatic annex, will be signed during a high-level Syrian-Israeli meeting in a European country in the near future.
The source didn’t even rule out the possibility of a direct signing at a meeting between Sharaa and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Taking into account Turkey’s attempts to expand its military presence in Syria, i24News optimistic report is highly questionable. The deployment of radars in Syria will certainly trigger Israel, which will likely attempt to take them out overtly, or covertly. This makes a security agreement less likely.
While Sharaa appears to be very enthusiastic about a security agreement with Israel and willing to make unimaginable concessions to reach it, he is in no position to refuse military cooperation with Turkey.
A security agreement will not likely be reached without a solution for the clash of interests between Israel and Turkey in Syria.

vai turquia, brigue com israel, você que não fez nada por gaza, que isrsel te bombardeie e você bombarseie cidades israelenses pra você aprender de que lado deve estar!
if i were to to bet in confrontation between 9 million israelis against 88 million turkturds i will always win betting in the confrontation against the turkhomoturds 100% guaranteed.
9 million israelis supported by the rest of the world.
at least supported by the oligarchs of the (((west)))
thanks to the jews the west is looking so colored that the jews won’t be safe in that support for much longer, how ironic.
and how safe do you feel? what colours your world thanks to the old league of nations, un s orders re immigration over riding every nations sovereignity and independence?
and remember it was the un that globalised satanism by making freedom of religion global too. religions were everywhere anyway, all except for satanism which was just legalised in california by their democratic party.
right now russia is the only place on earth that, apart from africa is predominantly one colour .
poland would like to say hello.
the elites within the golden billion if that’s what you mean by the rest of the world.
yes.
within the palace walls.
the monarchs that have always been threatened by the jews since moses brought down pharoah by demanding that he set his people free.
a monarch is the perfect communist they are the state, c est moi le etat as loius xvi said, i am the state, and they own everything. you can not get a better communist system. their marketing of programming as the mama and papa bear is brilliant, the fairy stories of the charming prince the shining armour the golden haired damsel in distress, cinderella, all that programming. 5 gold stars.
well that’s 9 million israelis supported by the western world, israel would actually defeat turks in a defensive war, air battle, or military confrontation. but if israel were to hypothetically attack turkey & fight them in syria on the ground (& in the air n everywhere else) then turks would badly maul the idf and force them to retreat and take huge losses of life and material
israel greece and cyprus energy deal working with egypt will squeeze turkey into compliance they can be istanbul but they can’t be an island .
got sick of using ‘bert 33’ did you ?
that was ramses using that as you ought to know berty
3 mosquitoes can do jack s***. abdul
it would be very amusing to see the turks and the jews fight.
it would be nato member vs americas biggest grifter
hahaha you’re so funny . always with yours denials of the truth every day pretending that you don’t even know that england created israel and became its monarch, that it doesn’t even have a constitution every day just you trolls playing dumb spreading your transparent anti democratic propgandas as if you are members of a royal family or don’t understand the alternative to americas democracy is you owning nothing.
turkey has been penetrated by mossad types for many decades and has a central banker led political regime . i do not trust it would actually stand against greater israel in deeds, it is a partner in the crimes
wakey wakey there’s one bank, the bank of england it controls them all. globally. its owned publically but operated privately. by the owners of the corporation that uses the trading name the city of london. and who owns that is a mystery to me even after trying to find out for 20 years. nothing s what it seems.but i think its actually the female lineage of the old plantagenets quite possibly. allegedly
attempting to protect yourself from the jews is anti semitic.
ha ha ha vc e teu antisemitismo barato
the filthy jewish pigs do not want their victims armed. its what bullies do. world is waking up to these hook nosed monsters
