Israel has intensified its military operations in southern Syria, conducting airstrikes on various military targets, including command centers and weapons depots near Damascus. These actions come in response to Syrian government calls for military withdrawal and demilitarization of the region. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has emphasized that Israel will not permit Syrian forces to operate south of Damascus, further demanding complete demilitarization to ensure the security of its borders. The ongoing military presence has sparked significant protests within Syria, with citizens reacting strongly against perceived Israeli aggression and government policies. As tensions rise, both sides remain engaged in a complex security challenge, with Israel vowing to operate continuously to dismantle military capabilities in the area.
