Tensions Surge as Explosions Rock Damascus Amid Israeli Strikes
Explosions were reported in Damascus early Thursday following Israeli strikes, as confirmed by Syrian state media. These strikes, targeting Iranian-linked sites in Syria, have intensified since Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7 last year. Further details of the strikes are still awaited.
In the early hours of Thursday, the city of Damascus was shaken by a series of loud explosions, following strikes by Israel, according to Syrian state media reports.
These strikes are part of a long-standing strategy by Israel to target Iranian-affiliated locations within Syria, with an increase in frequency since the Palestinian militant group Hamas carried out an attack on Israel on October 7 of last year.
While immediate details about the impact of the strikes are scarce, the geopolitical tension in the region continues to escalate, as these military actions intensify.
