Israel and Gaza are part of Asia...

Turkey is a NATO member.

Not having read the treaty, I don’t know, but if the quoted part of the treaty is correct, ie. it covers attacks in Europe and North America, then Israeli actions against Turkey in Asia wouldn’t trigger NATO treaty obligations. FWIW, I don’t believe that the UK tried to invoke the NATO treaty when attacked in the Falklands by Argentina. Wouldn’t that be a similar situation?
