Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused Israel of
waging "state terrorism" as he condemned the air strike on Syria as an
unacceptable violation of international law. "Those who have been
treating Israel like a spoilt child should expect anything from them,
at any time," said Erdogan on Sunday.
"As I say time and again, Israel has a mentality of waging state
terrorism. Right now, there is no telling what it might do and where
it might do it," he told reporters.
Erdogan, a harsh critic of the Jewish state, was speaking after
Israel's outgoing Defence Minister Ehud Barak implicitly confirmed
that it had staged Wednesday's bombing raid which Damascus said
targeted a military complex near the capital.
Following Barak's comments, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad accused
Israel of trying to destabilise Syria and said Damascus was able to
confront "current threats ...and aggression" against it.
Syria's state news agency SANA said Assad made the remarks in a
meeting with Saeed Jalili, Iran's national security council secretary,
at meeting in Damascus. It was Assad's first reported response to the
attack.
Since the outbreak of the Syrian conflict, Israeli leaders have
repeatedly expressed fears that if Syria were to disintegrate, Assad
could lose control of his chemical weapons and other arms.
Purported images of the targeted site, aired by Syrian state
television on Saturday, show destroyed cars, trucks and military
vehicles. A building has broken widows and damaged interiors, but no
major structural damage.
Meanwhile, Syrian opposition leaders and rebels on Friday slammed
Assad for not responding to the air strike, calling it proof of his
weakness and acquiescence to Israel.
On Saturday night, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who is
in the process of forming a new ruling coalition, said his new
government would have to deal with weapons "being stockpiled near us
and threatening our cities and civilians" - an apparent reference to
the deteriorating situation in Syria.
