dijlahpoint - International media reports revealed on Thursday advanced discussions between the Syrian and Turkish governments to form an expanded military alliance aimed at countering potential Israeli threats. These moves follow the Israeli targeting of the Abu al-Duhur airbase in Idlib province. Initial information indicates that the anticipated alliance may include Ankara providing Damascus with AWACS surveillance aircraft and fighter jets to protect Syrian airspace, in addition to expanding Turkish military assistance. This comes amid previous US warnings that military operations in Syria nearly ignited a broader regional conflict.
