In a dramatic escalation, Israeli warplanes launched a wave of airstrikes on southern Syria, targeting tanks, convoys, and rocket launchers in the governorates of Suwayda and Daraa. The strikes followed deadly sectarian clashes in Suwayda that killed over 30 people and injured nearly 100, prompting Syria to declare a ceasefire and withdraw heavy military equipment.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military action to disrupt the movement of Syrian and Iranian-backed militias advancing near Israel’s northern border. The Israeli Defense Forces say the attacks were aimed at halting the convoys before they reached strategic positions.
As Syria burns and Iran looms in the background, the question now is: How close are we to a broader war in the region?

Syrian troops have entered Sweida after Druze leaders approved military deployment to end deadly clashes with Bedouin groups. Over 100 people have been killed, including civilians and security forces, as violence spiraled across the province. Damascus imposed a curfew and declared a ceasefire following an agreement with Druze factions. This marks the first major military entry into Sweida since President Ahmed al-Sharaa assumed power. The government says troops aim to protect civilians and will respond only to attacks by outlawed factions.
