Why Israel is getting involved in Syria's internal fighting
Wednesday, 16 July 2025 () Israel has shown little respect for international borders since becoming the unrivalled military hegemon of the Middle East. Today that meant an Israeli airstrike on a government building in Damascus.
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...
Donald Trump has rebuked Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for an airstrike on a Catholic church in Gaza, calling the incident a “mistake.” His spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed Trump called Netanyahu to express his displeasure. Trump also reportedly called Syrian leader Al-Sharaa, urging both sides to agree to a ceasefire. Emphasizing the need for regional stability, Trump said he envisions a “peaceful and progressive Syria.” His remarks signal a rare critique of Israel and a renewed push for diplomacy in the Middle East.

Russia and Iran have strongly condemned Israel’s latest airstrikes on Syrian territory, calling them illegal and destabilizing. Moscow blasted the strikes as a “gross violation” of Syria’s sovereignty, while Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi labeled Israel a “rabid regime” engaging in “unhinged aggression.” Israel confirmed it struck near the Syrian army HQ in Damascus, citing actions against Druze civilians. As regional tensions escalate, both Russia and Iran demand an end to foreign interventions and urge unity within Syria.

Syria's president has said protecting the rights of the Druze population is "our priority" after Israel warned it would destroy forces attacking the minority Sky News
Houthi forces have launched a coordinated missile assault on Israel, targeting three strategic locations—Ben Gurion Airport, the port city of Eilat, and the Negev region. Ballistic missiles rained down, causing widespread alarm and disruption. This marks one of the most significant direct attacks on Israeli soil by the Yemen-based Houthis. The strikes have intensified regional tensions and drawn global attention, as fears of a broader Middle East conflict continue to rise.

Tensions between Israel and Syria have reached a boiling point. The Syrian Army has reportedly withdrawn from the key Druze city of Sweida following relentless Israeli airstrikes. Damascus lies in ruins as Israeli forces target key Syrian military installations, citing threats from HTS-aligned units and a need to protect the Druze population. With dozens feared dead and infrastructure devastated, the region is on the brink of a wider war. Is this the beginning of a new Middle East conflict? Stay tuned for live updates on the escalating Israel-Syria war.

Yemen's Houthi rebels (Ansarallah) have claimed responsibility for launching another significant missile attack toward southern Israel, triggering massive panic and sounding major air-raid sirens across the region. The group stated the attack was carried out in "solidarity with the people of Gaza." The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the launch and announced that its air defence systems were activated, successfully intercepting the inbound missile before it could hit its target.
This latest strike is part of a sustained campaign by the Houthis, who have vowed that such attacks will continue until Israel ends its military offensive and blockade of the Gaza Strip. According to reports, Ansarallah has fired over 50 missiles and drones toward Israel since the conflict resumed, frequently targeting critical infrastructure like the Ben Gurion Airport in previous attempts. This raises the critical question: Is Israel now fighting a three-front war, facing threats from Gaza, the north, and now consistently from Yemen?
The attack comes amidst a volatile situation in the wider region. Israel has recently intensified its own strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen in response to their persistent attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. In a major act of retaliation, the Houthis recently sank the UK-registered Magic Sea ship, a move that dealt a significant blow to global trade and maritime security. This video breaks down the latest missile attack, the successful Israeli interception, and the escalating cycle of violence that is pushing the Middle East to the brink.
