The flower’s details are not close enough to narrow down its ID. I’m guessing only for now, maybe it is either the white squill (Scilla mischtschenkoana) or the striped squill aka Lebanese squill (Pusckinia scilloides var libanotica)? Link be low with both images to compare, perhaps you could tell us which one you have. If this is neither, make new post with closeup of flowers.
