Israeli Air Strikes Kill 36 in Palmyra

Israeli air strikes on the historic city of Palmyra in Syria resulted in at least 36 deaths and over 50 injuries, according to Syrian state media. The strikes, which targeted residential buildings and an industrial area, were attributed to Israel, though the Israeli military declined to comment on the allegations. A UK-based monitoring group reported higher casualties, stating that the attacks also struck a warehouse used for storing weapons. The strikes are part of Israel's ongoing campaign against Iranian-linked targets in Syria, which has intensified following the recent escalation of conflict in the region. Palmyra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has previously suffered significant damage during the Syrian civil war and from Islamic State militants. The international community remains concerned about the humanitarian impact of such military actions in historically significant areas.
