What Erdogan said about a possible Israeli attack on Turkey
Erdogan stated that Israel, which is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip and terrorist attacks in Lebanon, is trying to draw other countries in the region into the conflict through all sorts of provocations.
After Palestine and Lebanon, the lands of our homeland will become the place to which the Israeli administration will turn its gaze, the Turkish leader said.
Since last week, the Israeli Air Force has been carrying out massive strikes against Shiite Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.
Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah was killed in the Beirut strike.
Observers say there have not been such intense attacks since the Second Lebanon War in 2006.
Hezbollah responds with shelling of northern Israel.
More than 90,000 people have fled their homes in southern Lebanon, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
On the night of October 1, Israel began a ground operation in Lebanon.
