Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz released a joint statement affirming their stance: “This is a clear message to the Syrian regime. We will not allow a movement of forces from south of Damascus and any danger to the Druse community.” The targeted area was near the residence of Ahmed Hussein al-Shara, who is now seen as a political figure after leading a coalition that ousted President Bashar al-Assad, but has drawn cautious attention from Israeli leaders.

The situation continues to develop without any immediate response from the Syrian government. Social media outlets showed smoke rising from the strike zones in Damascus, but details regarding damage assessments remain unclear at this time. As tensions heighten, the international community closely watches the ongoing conflict that increasingly draws regional and global implications.
