Turkish report: Israel aiding Kurdish rebels (PKK)

[azurnoir]

x-posted from I/P posted here because the US which gives Israel $3 billion a year in military aid officially lists the PKK as a terrorist group and Turkey is a NATO ally there for it is of general interest too

Turkish intelligence officials have drafted a report detailing the activity of the drones, after two were recently detected flying over the country.

According to the report, PKK training bases in northern Syria, near the Turkish border, "Were set up in areas that are known to be weakspots for the Turkish military, after they obtained intelligence collected by the drones."

The intelligence report also charged that Kenan Yıldızbakan, a senior PKK member who commanded the 2010 attack against a Turkish Navy base in Iskenderun, visited Israel several times.

In recent years, several media outlets reported Israeli activity in support of the Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq. An Iranian TV network claimed Israel deployed drones and intelligence officers in the cities of Kirkuk and Mosul.

There are other videos and photographs from the incident in which Israelis can be see holding pro-PKK signs outside the Turkish embassy.
