Israeli leadership confirms political authorization for strike on Syria's Abu al-Duhur Air Base

An Israeli Air Force source states that the strike on Abu al-Duhur Air Base was a direct decision by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz, refuting reports that the IDF pressured for the operation to preempt a Turkish presence. The source clarifies that the military provided a range of non-exclusive options, indicating that the strike was a deliberate political choice rather than a military-driven necessity.
