Israeli plane violates Turkish airspace
The latest incident happened on Monday but information has only just been released. The Turkish military said the Israeli plane violated its airspace five times for a total of eight minutes before it was chased away. The situation is further complicated by the Greek Cypriot government's discovery of huge offshore natural gas deposits. Turkey is questioning who has the right to develop these reserves, and has dismissed a Cypriot-Israeli deal demarcating their maritime borders.
