Israel carried out over 100 air strikes across Syria, targeting military sites, including a suspected chemical weapons centre. Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed the attacks in Damascus and other areas. Israel said the strikes were to prevent weapons from reaching extremists after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons urged Syria to secure chemical stockpiles. Israeli PM Netanyahu called the regime’s collapse a "historic day" and promised peace with Syrians seeking good relations. The strikes come amid regional tensions following the Gaza war and cross-border attacks on Israel.
