Israel Strikes Syria After Golan Heights Rocket Fire

Israel launched airstrikes in Syria after two rockets were fired from Syrian territory into the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, causing no injuries or damage. Both the Martyr Mohammed Deif Brigades and the Islamic Resistance Front claimed responsibility for the attack, citing Israeli actions in Gaza and the ongoing normalization process with Syria, though these claims remain unverified. Israel's Defense Minister blamed Syria's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa, while Damascus denied involvement and accused remnants of Assad-era, Iranian-linked militias of attempting to destabilize the region. The incident comes amid broader regional instability, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad and recent shifts in U.S. diplomatic policy. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has intensified, with continued Israeli attacks, severe shortages of medical supplies, and disruption of aid. The situation underscores rising conflict dynamics and the risk of further regional destabilization.
