The message followed a wave of Israeli strikes across Syria on Wednesday night amid reports Turkey was planning to take over Syria’s T4 air base. Killing 13 people, Wednesday’s attacks are the latest of several Israeli strikes and ground raids into Syria since the toppling of former President Bashar Al-Assad in December 2024. Over the ensuing months, Israel has repeatedly threatened Syria’s new leadership, demanded the “complete demilitarisation” of southern Syria, and reportedly lobbied the US government to keep international sanctions in place, despite the country’s devastating economic situation. It has also annexed more territory beyond the occupied Golan Heights, where it plans to offer hiking tours for Israeli citizens next weekend.
