Israel Intensifies Airstrikes in Syria, Targeting Multiple Regions

Israel has launched its most extensive wave of airstrikes in Syria this year, targeting key military sites and areas near the presidential palace in Damascus, resulting in civilian casualties and injuries. Israeli leaders stated these operations are a warning to the Syrian regime, emphasizing their opposition to the Islamist-led Syrian authorities and expressing support for the Druze minority. The Islamic Jihad Movement condemned Israel's attacks as part of broader expansionist ambitions threatening all Arab and Islamic nations, and called for regional unity to resist these actions. Meanwhile, the Syrian regime faces internal strife with minorities such as the Druze, Kurds, and Alawites, amid allegations of incitement and repression. The escalation reflects deepening regional instability, with both Israeli and Palestinian actors framing the conflict as impacting the broader Arab and Islamic world.
