Israel strikes Syrian military HQ in Damascus as fighting rages in Suwayda
Al Jazeera3 days
Israel's military intervention represents a necessary defense of the Druze minority against Syrian government forces and extremist allies who have committed atrocities including summary executions and home invasions. The strikes on Damascus send a clear message that Israel won't abandon its Druze allies and will enforce demilitarization policies in southern Syria to prevent threats near its border.
Israel's attacks constitute a flagrant violation of Syrian sovereignty and an attempt to sabotage the new government's efforts to establish peace and stability. The strikes represent Israeli pursuit of military hegemony and extended occupation rather than genuine protection of minorities, undermining Syria's fragile post-war transition.
