Israel bombed the entrance of the Syrian army’s headquarters in Damascus and launched strikes on Suwayda, a Druze-majority city in southern Syria. The strikes followed renewed clashes in Suwayda despite a ceasefire agreed on Tuesday. Syrian state media reported Israeli drone attacks caused civilian casualties. The Israeli army claimed its actions aimed to protect Druze communities and warned it is prepared for “various scenarios.” Fighting between armed groups and Syrian government forces has intensified in Suwayda. Israel’s strikes near key military sites in Damascus further escalate tensions, as fears grow over a broader regional conflict. (PC: News18)
