Airlines cancel flights to Israel, Lebanon | fmr. US army chief says Hezbollah is 'taunting' Israel

Following Erdogan's remarks, Israeli and Dutch politicians criticized him on social media, with some calling for NATO action and condemnation.

Erdogan’s threats come amid a dramatic flare up in the nine-month cross-border war between the IDF and Hezbollah.

After a 7-year-old was harassed by a Syrian refugee, a mob set fire to Syrian-owned businesses, overturned cars, and demanded the expulsion of refugees.

In addition to the wolf salute, anti-Israel chants such as 'Free Palestine' were also heard, and some of the Turks were even arrested.

Political tensions and hostilities don't allow airport and aviation authorities the right to ignore their international duties.

Anti-Syrian violence has since spread across Turkey, with incidents taking place in the provinces of Hatay, Gaziantep, Konya, and Bursa, as well as in an Istanbul district.

Cross-border strains between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah have been escalating in recent weeks, stoking fears of an all-out Israel-Hezbollah war.

The Turkish president is trying to seek cooperation to establish a new constitution after local election losses. He is reportedly set to meet the opposition leader in the coming days.

A Turkish official later said Erdogan had "misspoke" and meant that Gazans more generally were being treated in Turkey.
