On the 22nd local time, Israeli Defense Minister Katz issued a statement on the Israeli air strike on Abdul Khul Air Force Base in Syria, saying that according to intelligence intercepted by the Israeli military, Turkey was planning to carry out activities endangering Israel's national security at the base, and that the Israeli military had repeatedly proposed attacks on the base. After discussions with Israeli military and other security agency officials, Katz and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu decided to take deterrent measures first. They issued direct warnings to senior Syrian officials and shared relevant intelligence with US officials. Since the Syrian side ultimately failed to heed the warning, Katz and Netanyahu officially authorized the air strike.
