On Wednesday, Israeli air strikes targeted areas in Damascus, the capital of Syria, striking close to the defense ministry and the presidential palace. Media reports indicate that the attacks resulted in multiple fatalities.
Footage captured by CGTN Stringer revealed the extent of the damage near the presidential palace. The sudden strikes have left residents of Damascus in shock, as the areas hit are significant to Syria’s governmental operations.
While the Israeli military has not issued an official statement regarding the strikes, tensions between Israel and Syria have been escalating due to ongoing regional conflicts. The Syrian authorities have condemned the attacks, calling them a breach of sovereignty.
The international community is closely monitoring the situation, concerned about the potential for increased instability in the Middle East. Observers are urging all parties involved to exercise restraint and seek diplomatic solutions to prevent further escalation.
