Turkey warns Israel against attacks
[Al Jazeera] Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish prime minister, has said his country will not stay silent if Israel attacks Leb or Gazoo.
Erdogan made the comments at a conference in the Lebanese capital on Thursday, at a time when ties between Turkey and Israel are at an all-time low.
"Does [Israel] think it can enter Leb with the most modern aircraft and tanks to kill women and kiddies, and destroy schools and hospitals, and then expect us to remain silent?" he said as he met Saad al-Hariri, his Lebanese counterpart.
"Does it think it can use the most modern weapons, phosphorus munitions and cluster bombs to kill children in Gazoo and then expect us to remain silent?
"We will not be silent and we will support justice by all means available."
