Operation Swords of Iron is the name given to the IDF's campaign against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Following the events of the October 7 massacre, the IDF began striking targets in Gaza and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war against the Hamas terrorist group.
This war led to the deployment of the first IDF ground offensive into the Strip in years, with the expressed goal of fully destroying Hamas.
Dr. Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak, an expert on Israel-Turkey relations, spoke with Maariv and explained where Turkey stands in relation to Israel in light of the war in Gaza.
