Israel's military announced a series of strikes on Syrian infrastructure as a response to recent assaults against the Druze community in Sweida, southern Syria.

This development comes amid ongoing tensions, as Israel accuses Syria of targeting the Druze people, escalating the regional conflict.

Notably, Syria's state-run SANA has yet to acknowledge the Israeli attacks, which underline Israel's significant commitment to defending its Druze population through military intervention.
