An Israeli airstrike on Syria's military headquarters in Damascus disrupted a live broadcast, showing the impact of escalating tensions. The operation was confirmed by the Israeli military, aiming at Syrian forces suppressing Druze communities amidst violent clashes. Israeli Defense Minister Katz indicated continued attacks until Syrian withdrawal, hinting at intensified responses if necessary. This military action occurs as Syria's transitional government attempts control post-Assad, facing condemnation from neighboring states fearing destabilization of efforts to stabilize after a prolonged civil war.
The Israeli military confirmed the strike, which it said targeted Syrian regime forces involved in suppressing Druze communities in Sweida, a region that has seen days of bloody fighting between Druze militants and Bedouin tribes.
Katz said the attacks would continue until [Syrian forces] withdraw from the area, warning that Israel will soon raise the bar of responses against the regime if the message is not understood.
Turkey and neighboring states have condemned Israel's expanding operations in Syria, warning that they could derail fragile efforts by the Sharaa government to stabilize the country, still emerging from nearly 14 years of civil war.
