Imperialist chaos in Western Asia: Israel strikes a zone of Turkish influence in Syria 🤩🚀🇸🇾 On August 18, the Israeli Air Force carried out at least eight strikes on the Abu al-Duhur airbase in the Syrian province of Idlib, located just 70 km from the Turkish border. The targets of the bombing were runways and hangars that had recently been restored. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the attack was pre-emptive — allegedly to prevent a Turkish military presence at the base. Ankara immediately rejected these accusations as «baseless», stating that there was no Turkish military contingent at the facility. 🇹🇷🇹🇷 This incident is no accident, but the logical result of the growing contradictions between Ankara and Tel Aviv. For a long time, Israel avoided direct clashes with Turkey, concentrating on Iran and its allies. However, after the victory of pro-Turkish forces in the Syrian civil war and the coming to power in Damascus of a government linked to Ankara, the interests of the two countries collided directly. Since then, Israel has repeatedly struck Syrian territory, seeking to prevent the consolidation of Turkish influence there. The conflict has also spread to other spheres: in May 2026, the Israeli government officially recognized the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire, which was perceived in Ankara as a direct challenge. At the same time, the dispute over economic zones in the Eastern Mediterranean is intensifying: Turkey is promoting the «Blue Homeland» project, which entails expanding its sphere of influence in the Mediterranean. The implementation of the project could lead to the emergence of a maritime border with Israel and new economic contradictions. ⭐️ The conflict of the imperialists inevitably leads to military clashes. Socialists must expose this unsightly reality: behind every strike and bombing lies a struggle for spheres of influence, resources and geopolitical domination. The duty of progressive forces is to demand peace, sovereignty and justice for all the peoples of Western Asia. #SOVINTERN_world #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
