Israeli Airstrike Targets Area Near Syrian Presidential Palace; A Stern Warning to Damascus
Damashq-The Israeli military has confirmed that its fighter jets carried out an airstrike early this morning, targeting positions near the Syrian Presidential Palace in Damascus. The area is reportedly the residence of Ahmad Al-Sharaa, the head of the Syrian government.
Weezharoz-In a joint statement issued by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, the strike was described as a “clear message” to the Syrian leadership.
The statement warned against any military movement toward southern Damascus and emphasized that Israel will not tolerate threats against the Druze community or the reinforcement of Iran-backed forces along its borders.
The strike comes amid rising tensions along Israel’s northern frontier and southern Syrian regions, particularly in the city of Suwayda, where reports have indicated militant activity near the Golan Heights.
Syrian authorities have yet to issue an official response, though local sources have reported heavy explosions and the likelihood of casualties.
Analysts suggest this move is part of Israel’s broader strategy to escalate pressure on Damascus and curb the influence of its regional allies near Israeli borders.
At the same time, the attack could mark a turning point, potentially escalating the political and military dynamics within Syria.
Will Damascus respond to this strike, or will tensions along Syria’s southern front escalate even further? The coming days may offer clarity.
