Israel conducted strikes in southern Syria, targeting weapon caches attributed to Syrian authorities, following projectile launches into its territory. The Israeli defense minister held President Ahmed al-Sharaa responsible for these threats. The Syrian government denied any culpability, suggesting the existence of other destabilizing forces in the region. Tensions have been brewing despite recent direct talks aimed at easing conflict, highlighting the complexities of Syrian-Israeli relations, which have historically been fraught with mistrust and hostility.
The Israeli defense minister stated, 'We consider the president of Syria directly responsible for any threat and fire toward the State of Israel, and a full response will come soon.'
The Syrian foreign ministry reiterated that Syria does not pose a threat, stating, 'We believe that there are many parties that may seek to destabilise the region to achieve their own interests.'
