Israel Warns of "Jihadist" Rule in Damascus.. Supports Kurdish Autonomy
-
Israeli stance shows clear concern for protecting Syria's minorities, especially Kurdish autonomy from potential threats
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar questioned Damascus' new administration's "reconciliatory" statements, describing them as "extremist jihadists who simply moved from Idlib to Damascus".
Sa'ar expressed concern for Syrian minorities, confirming Israel's diplomatic efforts to protect Kurdish autonomy in northern Syria.
He criticized Turkey's hostile stance toward Israel, particularly Ankara's condemnation of Israeli military activities in Syria, noting "Erdogan's Turkey shows a hostile and provocative line toward Israel."
Israeli broadcaster "Kan" revealed details of a September special operation targeting the Scientific Research Center in Masyaf. Israeli Air Force's Shaldag and 669 units conducted the operation, destroying the facility reportedly manufacturing "advanced, precise weapons for Iranians."
Strategic experts say revealing operation details now signals Damascus' new administration about continued Israeli operations against Iranian presence in Syria.
Observers note Turkey's opposition to Israeli operations reflects growing Ankara-Tehran alignment, threatening regional stability.
