> Israel’s recent strike on Syria’s Abu Duhur military airfield has highlighted Syria’s emergence as a key arena in the rivalry between Israel and Turkey.

Israel says Syria violated or threatened a security agreement by allowing Turkish troops to use the airfield, allegations rejected by Damascus and Ankara.
