Turkey firmly rejected on Wednesday ⁠what it called "untenable allegations" by Israel regarding its military position in Syria, after Israel bombed a Syrian air base near the Turkish border and said Syria was on the verge of permitting Turkish troops to deploy there. Israel carried out airstrikes against the Abu al-Duhur base near Aleppo on Tuesday, drawing condemnation from Turkey and criticism from a ‌US envoy who called the attack an "unnecessary escalation". FRANCE 24's Jasper Mortimer reports from Ankara, Turkey.
