Middle East Tensions: Israel Strikes Syria Amid Threats

Tensions escalate in the Middle East as Israel conducts airstrikes against Syria and faces missile threats from Yemen's Houthi rebels. An Israeli airstrike in southern Syria killed three individuals, including security personnel from the new Syrian authorities, marking a shift in Israeli military operations following the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad. Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a missile targeting central Israel, which was intercepted by Israeli forces, amid ongoing conflicts with Hamas in Gaza. Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have resulted in civilian casualties, including women and children, as both sides edge toward a potential ceasefire. Syria's new de facto government, with support from Qatar, has condemned Israeli incursions into the buffer zone, urging international intervention. The situation highlights the complex geopolitical dynamics in the region, with various actors involved in military and diplomatic maneuvers.
