Erdoğan declared publicly that Turkey 'can enter Israel the way we entered Libya, Karabakh.' The first public threat from a NATO member to use force against Israel in the modern era — and a structural stress on the Eretz-Israel maximalist project that has underwritten Israeli strategic confidence since 2023.

This is not yet a Turkish deployment. It is rhetorical pre-positioning — the opening move that makes later escalations legible domestically and internationally. The Words-vs-Actions delta will be measured in F-16 sorties over Syria, naval posture in the Eastern Mediterranean, and any movement of Turkish assets toward Jordan or Lebanon.

Not scored on the BIF-1 tree directly. Added as a separate watch node — Turkish wildcard — with potential to materially complicate every downstream branch, most acutely Branch B (Bloody Landing) where an extended operation creates the stage for third-party intervention.
