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.
