‘Eliminate Al-Sharaa’-Netanyahu Escalates Syria War with Airstrikes on Damascus Presidential Palace

Tensions in the Middle East have reached a boiling point. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly ordered the "elimination" of Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, following an explosive statement by Israeli Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli. Shortly after the statement, Israeli airstrikes targeted buildings near the Presidential Palace in Damascus, with massive smoke seen rising from Mount Qasioun. Syrian state media confirms ongoing raids around Sweida and injuries to government forces.

Damascus Bombed, Sweida Burns: U.S. Urges Calm After Israel Strikes Syria’s Military Headquarters

Following a dramatic Israeli airstrike on Syria’s General Staff Headquarters in Damascus, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio called the escalation a “misunderstanding” and claimed de-escalation could be just hours away. The strike came amid sectarian clashes in the southern Syrian city of Sweida, where Israel says it’s intervening to protect the Druze community. With the death toll rising and fears of a broader conflict growing, the U.S. confirmed it is in continuous talks with both Syrian and Israeli officials. Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Tom Barrack condemned violence against civilians and called for immediate dialogue and a lasting ceasefire. Is this the brink of regional war—or a chance for diplomacy to prevail? #IsraelSyriaConflict #DamascusAirstrike #MarcoRubio #SweidaViolence #MiddleEastTensions #USForeignPolicy #IDFStrikes #DruzeCommunity #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #SyriaCrisis #CeasefireNow #GlobalSecurity #WarOrPeace ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.194~
