Jets strike near palace
The Sentinel
|May 03, 2025
ISRAEL'S air force has struck near Syria’s presidential palace after warning Syrian authorities not to march toward villages inhabited by members of a minority sect in southern Syria.
-
The strike came after days of clashes between pro-Syrian government gunmen and fighters who belong to the Druze minority sect near the capital, Damascus.
The clashes left dozens of people dead or wounded.
Yesterday's strike was Israel's second on Syria in the last week, and attacking an area close to the presidential palace appears to send a strong warning to Syria's new leadership which is mostly made up of Islamist groups led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.
