LIVE TV Captures Israeli Airstrike on Damascus — Syrian Army HQ Hit, Reporter Screams, Smoke Engulfs
Shocking live footage captured by Kurdish media outlet Rudaw and Al Jazeera shows the exact moment an Israeli airstrike hits the Syrian Army Headquarters in Damascus.
Viewers watched in real-time as a reporter screamed and ran for cover, while a massive cloud of smoke engulfed the skyline.
The target appears to be the Syrian General Staff building, a critical military facility.
This dramatic escalation comes amid heightened regional tensions, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of operations to protect Israel’s northern front — and specifically addressed the Druze population to stop crossing borders.
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?

Major chaos unfolds at the Israel–Syria border as hundreds of Israeli Druze cross into Syria, clashing with IDF soldiers. The Israeli military struggles to guard the border amid ongoing strikes on Damascus. Tensions escalate further after an Israeli minister calls for the assassination of Syrian President Al-Sharaa. Syria has condemned the attacks as “treacherous Israeli aggression,” claiming civilian casualties. Netanyahu urges the Druze community to stay in Israel, while the U.S. calls for de-escalation. The region faces its most volatile moment in years.

Mass protests erupted in Damascus as Syrian citizens gathered outside parliament, chanting “Stop killing our people” in a show of defiance against Israeli airstrikes and escalating sectarian violence.
The demonstration follows deadly Israeli strikes on the Syrian Army General Staff headquarters in Damascus, which Israel claims were a response to the government's failure to protect the Druze minority in Sweida. Protesters are calling for an end to both foreign intervention and internal bloodshed, demanding peace and accountability.
This comes as nearly 250 people have reportedly died in clashes between Syrian government forces, Islamist fighters, and Druze militias in recent days.

A U.S.-operated oil field in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region has been obliterated by a drone strike — and all signs point to Iran-backed militias. The target: HKN Energy’s Sarsang site in Duhok, now in flames and completely shut down. As smoke rises, so do fears of a wider proxy war unfolding across Iraq.
The attack, which Kurdish officials condemned as a “deliberate act of terrorism,” comes amid a stalled oil export system and growing instability. The U.S. has issued a sharp rebuke, demanding Iraq take action. Meanwhile, Baghdad and Erbil are under pressure to respond — fast.
Is this the beginning of a new front in Iran’s shadow war with the U.S.? Or a direct message to Washington about who controls Iraq’s energy future?
