Syrian foreign minister to Axios: Israeli bombing of airbase was unjustified

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani told Axios that Israel's bombing of the Abu al-Duhur airbase was unjustified, as Syria was only rehabilitating the airfield for its own air force and not establishing a Turkish military presence. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Israel warned Syria against allowing a Turkish presence at the base before carrying out the strike.
