The Turkish foreign ministry said on Tuesday that it strongly condemned Israel’s entry into the buffer zone between Israel and Syria and its advance into Syrian territory, APA reports citing Al Arabiya.
“Israel is once again displaying its occupation mentality,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.
Israel denied that its forces have entered Syrian territory beyond the buffer zone with the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, however, after Syrian sources said the incursion had extended to within 25 km (15 miles) of the capital Damascus.
