Israeli Airstrikes Escalate Across Multiple Fronts

An Israeli airstrike on Syria's historic city of Palmyra, launched from US-controlled airspace over the Al-Tanf base, resulted in at least 36 deaths and over 50 injuries, according to the Syrian state news agency SANA. The attack targeted residential buildings and an industrial zone, with significant damage reported. Meanwhile, in Gaza, Israeli forces killed two Hamas terrorists entering an underground shaft, amidst broader operations in the region that have led to numerous casualties, including the death of 800 Israeli soldiers since the conflict began. Civil defense efforts in Gaza are hampered by continuous shelling, with the overall death toll in the conflict exceeding 43,000, mainly civilians, according to Gaza's health ministry. This escalation comes as Israel continues to engage on multiple fronts, including intensified air raids on Hezbollah in Lebanon. The ongoing conflict, marked by high casualties and regional tensions, raises concerns of a broader war in the Middle East.
