Pesawat Pejuang Israel Bersedia di Turki Untuk Menyerang Iraq

(Israeli Jets in Turkey to bombard Iraq)

Satu laporan asing yang berpangkalan di London, berkata dalam keluarannya Khamis lalu, sambil memetik satu sumber daripada tentera Israel. Sumber Israel itu menyebut bahawa pesawat pejuang Israel sudahpun ditempatkan di Turki bersedia untuk melancarkan serangan udara ke atas Iraq mengikut arahan perdana menteri Israel Ariel Sharon.

Sumber itu menyebut Sharon berkemungkinan melancarkan serangan udara seandainya Iraq melancar peluru berpandu ke arah Israel seperti mana yang dilakukannya ketika Perang Teluk (ketika Iraq menakluk Kuwait)

Harus disebut di sini, Israel tidakpun membalas serangan Iraq ketika itu di atas permintaan A.S. Kali ini mengikut Sharon, seandainya Iraq menyerang lagi, serangan balas yang dikuatkuasakan tidak akan didahului oleh satu perundingan dengan A.S. Demikian laporan sumber yang mempunyai hubungan rapat dengan kumpulan 'JANES'. Namun, majalah itu tidak pula menyebut di mana pesawat Israel itu disimpan di Turki.

Di sini juga harus dirakamkan bahawa Turki dan Israel mempunyai satu pernjanjian pertahanan yang membolehkan pesawat kedua-dua negara itu disimpan di pengkalan sekutunya.

Israeli jets in Turkey to bombard Iraq

Turkey-Israel, Politics, 9/28/2001

The London- based "Foreign report" said in its Thursday's issue quoting Israeli military sources as saying that Israeli jet fighters have positioned in Turkey over the possibility of launching air strikes against Iraq as might be ordered by the Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon.

The source said that Sharon might order the launching of such air strikes if Iraq would fire missiles against Israel as it did (Iraq) during the Gulf war (the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.).

Worthy mentioning that Israel did not retaliate to the Iraqi missiles at the request of the US, but Sharon announced that the reply this time (If Iraq attacks Israel) will be without an early consultation with the US, according to " foreign report" which is established by " Janes" group which is specialized in defense issues. The magazine did not explain were the Israeli planes are stationed in Turkey.

Worthy mentioning that Turkey and Israel signed a defense agreement that provides for permitting the two countries warplanes to station in the other.
