Israeli forces executed multiple airstrikes on Syrian military sites, including the Defense Ministry and targets near the presidential palace in Damascus. These actions were reported during ongoing tensions between the Druze community and Syrian government troops. Israel's military strikes were described as a response to protect the Druze minority amid recent conflicts. The Israeli Defense Minister confirmed that harsher measures would follow against Damascus if intervention in southern Syria continues. Airstrikes were also noted in the Druze city of Sweida as battles persisted despite efforts for a ceasefire.
The Israeli army struck the entrance to the Syrian military's headquarters in Damascus and targeted the Syrian Defense Ministry with drone strikes. Reports included injuries from two airstrikes near the General Staff Headquarters.
Israel's Defense Minister warned that 'the warnings to Damascus have ended; now painful blows will come,' emphasizing Israel's commitment to protecting the Druze minority amid ongoing clashes.
The Israeli strikes, occurring for the third consecutive day, aimed to protect the Druze community after Syrian government troops clashed with Druze militias while trying to control fighting between the Druze and Bedouin populations.
