Hey everyone, here's an update from the region: Israeli airstrikes hit key military sites in Damascus, including parts of the Syrian Army General Command headquarters. Eyewitnesses and local media reported dramatic scenes with plumes of smoke rising over Umayyad Square, signaling a significant escalation in the area.
This latest round of strikes, carried out on Wednesday afternoon with at least five separate attacks, appears to be a response aimed at Syria's interim authorities following clashes with the Druze community in Sweida Province.
Additional footage captured areas near the Syrian al-Shaab presidential palace being hit, with white smoke billowing over the mountain backdrop. Earlier in the day, state TV noted that two civilians were injured in a previous strike, describing the event as an act of "Israeli aggression."
While official statements have yet to surface, these developments mark a critical phase in the unfolding tensions. Stay tuned for more updates, and take care out there! 😊
