In a significant escalation, Israel has
0:03
launched a targeted air strike on
0:05
Syria's military headquarters in central
0:07
Damascus, marking one of the deepest and
0:10
boldest strikes in recent memory. The
0:12
attack carried out in the early hours of
0:14
July 16 struck the general staff command
0:17
building near Ume square just blocks
0:19
from the presidential palace. According
0:22
to Syrian media, at least one civilian
0:24
was killed and more than 30 others
0:27
injured. The Israeli Defense Forces
0:29
stated the strike was in direct response
0:32
to brutal crackdowns by Syrian forces on
0:35
the Jews community in Surve where over
0:38
200 people were reportedly killed in
0:40
recent crashes. Israel, which shares
0:43
strong ethnic ties with the Jews
0:44
population, has made it clear that it
0:47
will not stand by silently. Defense
0:50
Minister Israel Kuds declared that the
0:53
era of warnings is over and that further
0:55
military action will continue unless
0:58
Syrian forces withdraw from Surveya. The
1:01
strike also disrupted a live Syrian
1:03
television broadcast symbolizing both
1:05
the physical and political influence on
1:07
the operation. As international actors
1:10
including the US and Turkey cause for
1:12
calm, tensions remain high. The air
1:15
strike has not only intensified the
1:17
military dynamics in the region, but
1:19
also reignited questions about Syria's
1:22
internal instability and Israel's
1:25
evolving crossber defense posture. With
1:28
the fragile ceasefire barely holding and
1:30
no clear diplomatic resolution in sight,
1:33
the Middle East stands at a new and a
1:35
dangerous point. Thank you for watching.
