Tensions rise in southern Syria: What’s next for Syria-Israel relations?

Syria’s foreign ministry has not confirmed reports of rockets fired from Syria toward Israel, while the IDF responded with airstrikes against Syrian regime weapons in Southern Syria. The new Syrian government, attempting to distance itself from the previous Assad regime’s alliance with Iran and Hezbollah, seeks to stabilize the region but faces Israeli demands for demilitarization and ongoing airstrikes. Syria condemned Israeli actions as violations of sovereignty and called for international support to restore security amid escalating tensions.
