Sometimes its interesting
to do several commentaries
on one particular subject
from different articles/sources
about that theme
all in one piece.
Seems like the different perspectives
a lil more clearly displayed.
I dont like doing it as much
as I once did
as it makes it harder for me
to go back and find things
when they are all
"corralled together"
in one spot.
Anyway, the subject matter at hand
warrants this approach so here we go.

Israel’s new Syria dilemma: Netanyahu’s Russia playbook faces 'Turkey test'
Jerusalem Post 08 /21/26
"on Tuesday, Israel attacked the runway and storage facilities
at the Abu al-Duhur air base in the Idlib province,
some 60 kilometers from the Turkish border."
(37 miles away...keep that in mind
as we work through these.)
"Netanyahu discussed the reason for the strike in a clip released on Wednesday.
“We will not tolerate a Turkish military buildup extending southward.
We conveyed that in every possible way.”
"Considering Turkey’s implacable hostility toward Israel in both words and deeds, Netanyahu’s position is understandable. Turkey hosts Hamas and spearheads diplomatic moves against Israel, while President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has spent years spewing virulently anti-Israel rhetoric."
(Thats out NATO "ally"
BTW "host Hamas".

Turkey and Israel risk sliding
"In June, Turkish Interior Minister Mustafa Ciftci said that just as Damascus, Aleppo, and Nagorno-Karabakh had been “liberated,” Jerusalem would also be liberated one day. Ciftci added that he had prayed to become Jerusalem’s governor and predicted that lands once ruled by the Ottoman Empire would return to Turkish rule."
(Already Covered that here:

"Turkey also recently signed a mutual-defense pact with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan – two major Sunni powers, one of them nuclear-armed. A country whose leaders speak that way
and whose regional ambitions are expanding
is not one Israel wants building up militarily anywhere near its borders."
(Revelation 17:10
They are also seven kings.
Five have fallen,
one is,
the other has not yet come;
but when he does come,
he must remain for only a little while.
"whose regional ambitions are expanding"
Are Egypt's?
Iraqs?
(Babylon)
Irans?
(They already got enough issues
to try and take care of themselves
within their own borders.)
Are Syria's?
"regional ambitions are expanding"
See note above on Iran.
Greece?
Rome?
Who is left then
but the Neo-Ottomans?
(Turks)
"But there is more to it than that, because the air base attacked on Tuesday is not near Israel’s border. It is, however, reportedly near a route Israeli aircraft could use to fly to Iran. Israel does not want hostile radar and air defense systems compromising its air superiority and freedom of action."
"On Tuesday, the Prime Minister’s Office posted on X/Twitter that Israel and Syria had agreed to a security status quo that Damascus was on the verge of breaching by permitting Turkish troops to deploy at Abu al-Duhur. Israel warned Syria that such a deployment would pose a threat, the post said, but Syria ignored those warnings.
Israel, it continued, “will not tolerate threats to its security and would welcome a return to the status quo.”
Syria and Turkey dispute Israel’s account. Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani said there were no plans for a Turkish base or permanent Turkish troop presence at Abu al-Duhur, and that Turkish officers had visited the site only as part of military training and cooperation."
(Notice he didn't say it wouldn't happen any where else
just not at the air base in question
and thats because Turkey already has
a small military presence at some bases in Syria.)
"In Israel’s view, moving Turkish troops –
and possibly sophisticated radar and air defense systems – into the Abu al-Duhur air base violated those understandings.
The attack, therefore, carried two messages: one to Syria, warning it to respect the previous understandings; and one to Turkey, making clear that Israel has redlines."
("when he does come,
he must remain for only a little while"
Already happened once
getting ready to happen again.
One day
The Prize Lieutenant
is gonna knock off
his old benefactor.
It all seems so cliche
but its true.
)(Remember that name and who he is.
as it will be all through here.)
"Turkish forces were not aware that the Israeli aircraft were en route to that specific Syrian base, nor of their intended purpose, and therefore could potentially have been inclined to scramble their own jets in the belief that they themselves were under attack,” he said."
"Putin did not enter Syria to harm Israel. He came to preserve Russian interests: Saving Assad, maintaining Moscow’s Mediterranean foothold, demonstrating Russia’s global standing, and preventing Islamist forces from taking control of Syria and potentially feeding jihadist threats in Russia’s own North Caucasus region."
"Erdogan’s immediate interest in entrenching Turkey in Syria may likewise not be to attack Israel. He wants to secure Turkey’s southern border, curb Kurdish power, shape the new Syrian state, expand Ankara’s regional influence, and make billions rebuilding the country’s infrastructure."
"But unlike Putin,
Erdogan has ideological and historical ambitions
that place Turkey on a collision course with Israel."
See: Monday, August 11, 2025
A Pan-Turkic agenda = Fulfillment of Revelation 17:8-11.)
"When a senior minister speaks of “liberating” Jerusalem and becoming its governor – after nearly two decades of Erdogan’s poisonous rhetoric against Israel – the difference between Russia’s attitude toward Israel and Turkey’s becomes clear."
"Erdogan’s Turkey poses a different challenge
than Putin’s Russia
Erdogan’s Turkey is different. Ankara views Syria as its immediate backyard, and Erdogan’s worldview is shaped by Muslim Brotherhood sympathies and Neo-Ottoman ambitions inherently hostile to Israel."
(See: Pan-Turkic agenda link above
in previous comments.)
"While Putin was content to preserve Russia’s coastal enclave around Tartus and Latakia and keep Assad in power, Erdogan views himself as the principal patron and protector of al-Sharaa’s al-Julani's new Syrian state.
He has also made no secret of his desire to project Turkish and Sunni power across the region, with the new defense pact with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan the latest expression of Ankara’s growing strategic reach."
(It couldn't be made any more obvious than it already is.
Once again See: Pan-Turkic agenda link in previous comments above.)
"For Erdogan, quietly signing a live-and-let-live airspace agreement with Jerusalem cuts against his ideology and the image he has cultivated as Israel’s strident and uncompromising opponent."
"Israel and Turkey, a NATO member, are both close US allies, and Washington is already working to prevent a catastrophic miscalculation between two major military powers."
(Bullshit, its exactly what the False Prophet
wants to have happen. Its why he didnt condemn the attack.)
"Israeli and Turkish defense officials began technical talks in Azerbaijan in April 2025 aimed at preventing clashes in Syria. Following the Abu al-Duhur strike, Barrack said the US was working to create a broader mechanism involving Israel, Turkey, and Syria."
(Gulp...
Throwing Syria into the mix?
it just gives me the heebie-jeebies
it just really does.)
"Israel’s core demand is clear: Turkey may help rebuild Syria, but advanced Turkish radar and air defense systems cannot be allowed to creep southward and threaten the Israel Air Force’s freedom of action or strategic routes toward Iran.
Turkey and Syria, for their part, will demand that Israel respect Syrian sovereignty, reduce its attacks, and give the new government room to stabilize the country."
(Yeah well...good luck with all of that...)
"In September 2015, Israel demonstrated the diplomatic agility needed to share Syrian skies with Russia. But sharing airspace with a distant global power pursuing cold strategic interests is vastly different from sharing it with a hostile, ideologically driven regional power with far-reaching ambitions.
(Got your eighth kingdom
thats gonna rule Jerusalem picked out yet?
Its one of the seven:
Iraq, Syria (Assyria), Iran (Medo-Persian),
Egypt, Greece, Rome
or Turkey.
Just picking one out of a hat
and you got a 14% chance
of getting it right...
It is just asobvious as day
what is going on here.
"In other words,
does the viewpoint...
demonstrate a proper method
of interpreting Scripture?...
Does it fit the facts of history?"
~
Walvoord.)
"Left to their own devices, and considering
the bad blood between Ankara and Jerusalem,
it is doubtful that Israel and Turkey
could reproduce the Israeli-Russian model."
(There is a book that tells you
EXACTLY
what is going to happen.)
"Washington has every reason to step in aggressively
to ensure that this increasingly tense rivalry
does not spiral out of control."
(And thats it.)

Israel targeted Syria airbase over planned Turkish troop,
radar presence, source confirms to 'Post'
Jerusalem Post 08/22/26
"The IDF hit the Abu al-Duhur military air base after it received intelligence that Turkey was seeking to station a radar and an air defense system manned by Turkish troops there, sources confirmed to The Jerusalem Post."
(They bombed it on the 18th.
This is four days later.
I SMELL BULL SHIT
Consider:
If what is said above is true?
Then why not just have said it
when it happened?
Initially we were given like three different reasons
for the attack, this is exactly what you do
when you don't want people to know
what you are doing or why.
And why would Turkey need or want a
"Radar or Air defense Station"
so close to its border?
When it apparently has radar
as far away as Jordon?
Friday, August 21, 2026
Its a bigger deal than it seems like on the surface
(Israel, Turkey, Syria, Air base etc...)
"A Turkish source familiar with the operational readiness of the Turkish armed forces said Ankara had radar capabilities that could monitor Israeli aerial activity as far away as Jordan and had not been caught off guard by the strikes. The source speculated that US officials may also have warned Turkey of the impending attack."
And why would it want it there to prevent
Israel from preceding along that
particular flight path to Iran?
When they have done nothing at all
to stop that in the past?
Last summers 7 day
conflict or the current war with Iran.
A weakened Iran, strengthens Turkey etc.
So yeah...Im calling Bull Shit.)
"While the IDF did not detail when the Turkish military systems were set to arrive, officials pointed to the Abu al-Duhur base as a possible target due to its proximity to the Turkish border."
(Israel's fighter jets can reach speeds of like 1200 MPH.
So how much good is a Radar or Air defense Station
37 miles from your border really gonna do?
You need them a lil farther out than that
to get enough advance waring.)
"Israeli sources also told KAN News that the four IDF strikes were aimed at the base’s runway to prevent Turkish troops from landing.
“Since the diplomatic message did not get through, Israel delivered it through a targeted warning strike,” one official said."
(Its only 37 miles away.
Thrkey cant just truck troops in?
WTF?
Makes no sense at all...)
“Following several discussions that Prime Minister [Benjamin Netanyahu] and I held with the IDF and the various security officials, it was agreed that before approval was given, a direct warning would be issued to the Syrian regime at the highest levels first in an attempt to prevent the move, and that is what was done,” Katz said."

Envoy says Israel did not give
the US notice before strikes on Syrian base
Al Jazeera 08 /22/26
"US official Tom Barrack has criticized Israel for failing to give his country adequate warning, a claim Tel Aviv denies."
(It would not surprise me at all to see him fired
for saying what he did.)
"Tom Barrack, the United States ambassador to Turkiye and its special envoy to Syria, has accused Israel of offering no warning before carrying out military strikes in Syria this week, though Israeli officials insisted it did.
Barrack, who called the Israeli strikes an “unnecessary escalation”, said in an interview on Friday that the attacks on the Abu Duhur military base in northern Syria may have been aimed at “baiting the Turks”, who have substantial influence in the region."
(Thats exactly what it was.)
"Israeli officials, who have warned Turkiye against supplementing its military presence in Syria, angrily denounced the comments from Barrack."
(Cause its the truth.)
"Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said in a social media post on Saturday that Israel had shared “intelligence information to the authorised parties in the United States” prior to the strike on Tuesday."
(Who then, are "the authorized parties"?)
"Israel has stepped up threats
against Turkiye in recent months,
portraying the country as a potential rival
that aims to expand its regional influence.
"Turkiye, for its part, blasted the Israeli strikes as “reckless”."
"Katz denounced Barrack’s comments as “full of inaccuracies and positions that contradict the stance of US President [Donald] Trump himself”, regarding Israel’s military occupation of Syria’s Golan Heights."
"While Barrack has acknowledged the territory as occupied, the first Trump administration recognised Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights in 2019."
"The Syrian territory is considered occupied under international law, after it was captured from Syria during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War."
(And thats why it wouldn't surprise me to see
Barrack removed from his current position(s).
"The US has attempted to broker talks between the two countries to de-escalate the situation. Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa, al-Julani a former al-Qaeda fighter who has cultivated close ties with the US and Turkiye,
(Cause that makes perfect sense.)
has stressed that
his government
is not seeking conflict
with Israel."
(Daniel 8:25
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
And he has maintained that
from the very outset.

There are three major end times prophecies
current in the process of being fulfilled.
Jihadist-Turned-Statesman Ahmad al-Sharaa
“Having worked for many four-star generals in the American military,
I felt like I was talking to a very senior general,
not that different than an American commander
who had
a very deep understanding of
warfare, economics, policy,
what he wanted to achieve,
how he might want to achieve it,”
(Oh you can believe that alright!)
"says Roger Carstens,
who worked at the State Department
in the first Trump administration
as well as the Biden administration.
“I walked away impressed.”
(Why wouldn't he?
Daniel 8:25
and he shall cause craft
(Deceit)
to prosper)
"Barbara Leaf,
the U.S. assistant secretary of state
for Near Eastern affairs
at the time and the delegation’s leader,
found the way al-Sharaa
(Abu Mohammad al-Julani)
spoke about
one of Syria’s neighbors
in the Middle East striking.
“I mean,
I had to almost close my eyes
and remind myself
I was talking to a Syrian official,
with the very easy way
he talked about Israel,”
"Leaf says that unlike Hafez al-Assad,
Bashar’s father who ruled Syria for nearly 30 years,
al-Sharaa Abu Mohammad al-Julani gave
“No diatribes,
no recitation of 40 years of history.”
Right there he gave himself away,
and revealed who he was
and what he is doing
If you don't know what to watch for?
You will never know it is here
when it shows up.
Daniel 8:25
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart,
and by peace shall destroy many:
he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
A Jihadist just doesn't turn statesman,
and when a former Emir of Nineveh
who launched ISIS in Syria
and was a Al-Qaeda commander
shows up on the scene
wanting peace with Israel
from the outset of taking over Syria?
(A former Roman province BTW
for all the gotta be "Rome" diehards
out there.)
IT SHOULD HAVE
SENT OFF ALARM BELLS
EVERYWHERE!
Antiochus IV Epiphanes was a Syrian king BTW,
and We are about to have a repeat performance.
See: )Wednesday, February 5, 2025
Abu Mohammed al-Jolani "The Assyrian"
"Despite occasional criticism of Israel’s actions in Syria and elsewhere, the Trump administration has taken no firm measures to pressure Israel to stop its military campaigns."
(The False prophet sets all of this up.)
"Trump has also continued to adhere to the US policy of near-unconditional support for Tel Aviv, praising Israel as a “great ally”.
(Told ya.)
"To justify this week’s attacks on the Abu Duhur military base, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government feared Turkiye was preparing to deploy troops to the area and had ignored warnings against doing so."
"Turkiye has denied such allegations. Barrack said that the US had concluded that the purported military activity at the base was “not happening”.
(Like I said, don't expect him
to be in his position(s) much longer.)
Israel-Turkey tensions rise after Netanyahu orders strikes on Syrian airbase
South China Morning Post 08/22/26
"Unannounced Israeli jets near the Turkish border
could easily have triggered a clash,
in a high-stakes ‘warning’ to Ankara"
"Fears of a military confrontation between Israel and Turkey are growing after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sought to assert dominance over Syria by ordering air strikes on a military airfield near the Turkish border."
"The eight strikes on the Abu Al-Duhur airbase in northwest Idlib province on Tuesday were characterised by Netanyahu as a warning to Turkey against expanding its military presence in Syria or helping rebuild the Syrian armed forces."
“We conveyed that message: don’t,” Netanyahu told Israeli Army Radio. “But apparently they didn’t hear it, so we made sure they understood it better”.
"His comments followed a rare expression of “deep concern” from Washington at Israel’s “unnecessary escalation”.
(That was from Tom Barrack,
not anybody else.)
"In 2015, Turkey shot down a Russian fighter jet under similar circumstances after it appeared to threaten an intrusion from Syrian airspace."
"Turkey and Israel “may have no intention to get into a kinetic confrontation, but they could easily slide into one. Accidentally. Suddenly,” said Asli Aydintasbas, a Middle East fellow at the Brookings Institution. “This is why [Tuesday’s] incident was dangerous.”
("may have no intention" my ass, they both know where this is going and have for sometime, thats why Israel's "warning shot".)
"Barrack, along with Turkish and Syrian officials, also disputed Israel’s initial claim of a build-up of “Turkish proxies” around Aleppo."
See? At first it was:
"a build-up of “Turkish proxies”
or grandstanding for the upcoming
Israel election
and now its all about
"a radar and air defense system"
Fact is, it was Israel intentionally
provoking Turkey and thats what they don't want you to know
and thats why you get so many different stories about WHY
it took place. Fact is If Turkey wants troops there? They wouldn't have to fly em in being its only 37 miles from the border.)
“The [Syrian] government has neither
adopted a predatory posture nor maintained proxy forces,”
Barrack said in an earlier social media post.
“It has, in fact, repeatedly indicated
a preference for de-escalation with Israel”.
("By peace shall destroy many"
anybody?)
Spheres of influence
"Turkey has operated scores of military facilities across northwest Syria since intervening in the country’s civil war in October 2017."
"But after rebels led by current President Ahmed al-Sharaa al-Julani toppled the Assad government in December 2024, Turkish forces have not expanded their geographical footprint, according to observers."
(No need to, they got their guy in place.
And they have expanded their footprint
along their southern border.
)"Ankara briefly explored deploying forces to an airbase in central Syria soon after the takeover, but backed down after Israeli strikes hit the facility in March and April 2025, following visits by Turkish military delegations."
(Testing the waters so to speak.
And "an airbase in central Syria"
makes much more sense
than one close to the Turkish border.
That was all covered here BTW:
Saturday, April 5, 2025
Israel and Turkey might as well be at war.
(Ctrl F "T4")
"This incident established an informal status quo: Israel, which occupied part of southwest Syria soon after Assad’s fall, retained “freedom of action” over the southern half of the country, while the north became Turkey’s sphere of influence."
"By striking Abu Al-Duhur on Tuesday, Netanyahu was now “asserting an Israeli security zone that stretches to the Turkish-Syrian border”, said Rich Outzen, a non-resident senior fellow with the Atlantic Council’s Turkey programme, who called the move “not wise”.
(It was inevitable but yeah,
"not wise" on Israel's part.
Not at all.)
"Analysts who spoke to This Week In Asia viewed the strikes as an ominous sign of things to come between Israel and Turkey."
(100% AGREED.
That is why I am writing about it
in depth so much.
Forget US Iran.
This is the conflict
that is gonna be the one that matters
in the long run.)
"He (Haiel Ben-Ephraim, an Israeli-American geopolitical analyst) saw Netanyahu’s decision to escalate tensions partly as a political maneuver meant to rally right-wing support ahead of October’s general election."
(Thats what they want you to think yo.)
“The typical use of security is to frighten voters into voting for the right,” said Ben-Ephraim, who is a senior analyst with strategic advisory firm Atlas Global Strategies."
"Still, he warned of a “genuine risk” that miscalculation could trigger a wider confrontation, because “there are no clear borders for Turkish or Israeli influence in Syria
and for Turkey this seems
to be a primary interest”.
"Giorgio Cafiero, CEO of the Washington-based risk consultancy Gulf State Analytics, said tensions between Turkey and Israel had been rising for years, “particularly since Ankara began filling a major vacuum in Syria” after Assad’s ousting in late 2024."
Wednesday, December 4, 2024
to think
Turkey planned the Hamas massacre?
to weaken Iran and Hezbollah?
So that they could become
the dominant player in the region?)
"The latest strikes, within 45 miles (72km) of the Turkish border, “constitute a troubling development” because they showed that Israel “does not want to see Syria, under any leadership, rebuild itself militarily”, he said.
"Such a scenario risked undermining Israel’s “vision for total dominance over the region”, Cafiero added, pushing the Netanyahu government to do “anything within its means to prevent any actor in the neighbourhood from challenging Israeli hegemony”.
"The Israeli foreign ministry had long ceased to counterbalance the IDF in any meaningful way and the concept of deterrence had “completely given way to pre-emption”, he said."
(We kinda got that ball started rolling
"pre-emption" with Iraq 2.0 BTW.)
"Ben-Ephraim expects
“a long, tense confrontation
between Turkey and Israel
as Turkish ambitions increase while US power wanes” in the Middle East, Israel “grows more isolated” and Iran rebuilds."
(SO DO I.
And at or near the end of that?
"long, tense confrontation
between Turkey and Israel"
Ole dude from right next door

“It is clear to us that the Syrians
do not want a confrontation with us,” he said.
He did not rule out a return to direct talks with Syria, as has taken place in the past, but he said the conditions would have to be right.
“The negotiations can be renewed. We want to continue the face-to-face dialogue that we previously held with the Syrians,” the ambassador said.
(Daniel 9:27
And he shall confirm the covenant
(Peace treaty)
with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
