Israeli Airstrike on Syrian Military Airport Injures Two Defense Personnel

A major Israeli airstrike targeted a Syrian military airport, leaving two Syrian defense personnel injured, according to local reports. The strike, which marks an escalation in regional tensions, is part of Israel’s ongoing military campaign against Iranian-linked forces in Syria.

Syrian state media reported that air defenses were activated in response to the attack, but several projectiles struck their intended targets. While Israel has not officially commented on the incident, its military has previously acknowledged targeting Iranian-backed groups and Hezbollah assets inside Syria to prevent weapons transfers and military entrenchment.

This latest strike comes amid heightened Middle East tensions, with Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz recently issuing a threat to begin annexing parts of Gaza, further complicating the situation. Meanwhile, reports indicate internal disputes within Israeli leadership regarding the hostage negotiations with Hamas, as diplomatic efforts continue to stall.

The United States has remained tight-lipped on both the Gaza annexation threat and the recent firing of Israel’s Shin Bet chief, signaling growing friction over Israeli policies in the conflict.
