Israel launched targeted airstrikes on military targets across Syria and near the presidential palace in Damascus on consecutive nights, sending a “clear message” to the Syrian regime. According to the Israeli Prime Minister’s office, this is an escalation of the conflict, aiming to extend its reach beyond Gaza borders.
The move has raised concerns about the potential impact on hostages being held by Palestinian militant groups, such as Hamas. Critics argue that Israel’s aggressive actions may prioritize military gains over human lives.
