Israel conducted over 20 air strikes in Syria, marking its heaviest assault this year, following an attack near the presidential palace in Damascus, which Syria condemned as a “dangerous escalation.” The strikes targeted military sites, anti-aircraft cannons, and missile infrastructure, amid Israeli warnings to protect the Druze minority after sectarian clashes resulted in over 100 deaths. Syrian officials criticized the strikes as destabilizing, while the UN condemned them as violations of sovereignty, as regional tensions rise amidst the conflict’s complexities.
