Turkish forces, personnel on Syrian soil are not facing any setbacks following Israeli airstrikes on Syria, says ministry
Israel's unrestrained actions are destabilizing the region and causing chaos, and it must immediately halt aggressive moves that could lead to irreversible consequences, Turkish National Defense Ministry said on Thursday.
Turkish forces and personnel on Syrian soil – sent there on anti-terrorist missions along the border – are not facing any setbacks following Israeli airstrikes on Syria, ministry spokesperson Zeki Akturk told reporters at a briefing in the capital, Ankara.
The Israeli army on Wednesday launched airstrikes on the Syrian capital Damascus as well as Suwayda and Daraa on the pretext of protecting the Druze community.
Another strike reportedly followed early Thursday on a Syrian military base.
Syria's Interior Ministry said the attacks had killed more than 30 people and injured nearly 100.
