US Mediation Follows Israeli Strike on Syrian Airbase Amid Turkish Tensions

The United States is actively mediating between Israel, Syria, and Turkey following an Israeli airstrike on the Abu al-Duhur airbase in Syria. Washington urges restraint to prevent broader escalation, while direct talks between Mossad chief Roman Gofman and Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani in Jordan aim to de-escalate tensions. The dispute centers on Israel’s claim that Turkey was planning a military buildup at the base, a claim Syria and Turkey deny.

Israel Strikes Civilian Vehicle in Syria, Sparking Diplomatic Fractures

Israel conducted a drone strike on a civilian vehicle in Beit Jinn, southwest of Damascus, injuring at least one person. Syria condemned the attack as a violation of international law, while Israel claimed it targeted a terrorist preparing an immediate threat to its forces. This incident follows a recent Israeli strike on the Abu al-Duhur airbase, which US envoy Tom Barrack suggested may have been intended to provoke Turkey ahead of Israeli elections. Damascus is pursuing de-escalation through US mediation, but tensions remain high as Israel expands its security operations in Syrian territory.

Syria rejects Israel’s claim of Turkish threat after Abu al-Duhur airbase strike

Israel bombed the Abu al-Duhur airbase in northern Syria on Tuesday, claiming it was preventing a Turkish military buildup. Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani rejected this justification, stating the site was under rehabilitation and lacked a permanent Turkish presence. The strike damaged runways but caused no casualties. US Ambassador Tom Barrack called the action an unnecessary escalation and proposed a deconfliction mechanism, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Syria against allowing Turkish forces at the base.

US Envoy Condemns Israeli Strike on Syrian Airbase as 'Unnecessary Escalation'

U.S. Special Envoy Tom Barrack condemned Israeli airstrikes on the Abu al-Duhur airbase in Syria, labeling the action an 'unnecessary escalation.' The strikes, which occurred overnight in Idlib province, drew sharp criticism from Damascus and Washington, though Israel has not claimed responsibility. This incident marks the latest friction between the Trump administration and Israel, following a joint attack on Iran in February and recent disputes over Lebanon and Gaza.
