Almost certainly. The Turks and Israelis are allies in all but name.

I wonder if the IDF should charge the Turks for the rescue? :)

We've been training together for this sort of thing. The exercises are dubbed Reliant Mermaid.

Reliant Mermaid, a trilateral humanitarian search and rescue (SAR) exercise involving naval ships and aircraft from Israel, Turkey and the United States, took place January 7, 1998 in international waters off the coast of Israel in the Mediterranean Sea. The objective of the exercise was to practice coordinated emergency SAR procedures. By familiarizing themselves with each other's capabilities and working together, elements of the three naval forces which regularly operated in the Mediterranean will be able to respond more effectively in the event of an actual emergency rescue operation. The at-sea portion of the exercise involved five surface ships, along with several helicopters and search aircraft.
To which the Kurdish terrorists say:
The President of the Kurdistan Workers Party, Abdullah Ocalan, during a televised debate on MED-TV, stated that the growing ties between the US, Israel and Turkey are part of an ongoing strategy, which strengthened the ability of the Turkish State to commit genocide against the people of Kurdistan. He called upon Israel to remember its own history and the genocide perpetrated upon the Jewish people; asking Israel to look carefully at its relationship with Turkey in regard to the Kurdish question.
If you click the terrorist link, then look at the bottom of the page to see who is affording them a broadcast license.

They probably would. Turkey and Israel value their friendship.
