Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa has issued a stark warning to Israel, accusing it of fueling unrest in Suweida and threatening that further intervention could spark a new regional war. Sharaa declared Syria’s battle is to unify the country, not divide it, while condemning Israeli strikes in Damascus and southern Syria. The violence, rooted in Druze-Bedouin clashes, has escalated into protests and accusations of sectarian manipulation. As Damascus faces criticism over abuses, Sharaa pledged accountability but vowed to resist Israeli interference at all costs.

Turkey has officially entered the Syrian civil war after Damascus requested assistance to combat terror groups and stabilize the south. Ankara will provide military training, consultancy, and armoured vehicles to support Syrian forces. This comes amid escalating Druze-Bedouin violence in Sweida and Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian military assets. Turkey’s move, framed as a push for regional stability, heightens fears of a broader confrontation with Israel. Ankara backs Syria’s sovereignty while accusing Israeli actions of destabilizing southern Syria and provoking wider conflict.

Aleppo Airport Attack Breaking: A deadly drone strike near Aleppo International Airport has vaporized a civilian car, killing two people instantly. Syrian state media reported that an unidentified drone targeted the vehicle on the airport road, while AFP correspondents described the car reduced to wreckage with shrapnel scattered widely.
No group or country has claimed responsibility, raising suspicions of Israel or the U.S.-led coalition, both of which have previously carried out strikes in northern Syria targeting ISIS and al-Qaeda leaders. Local witnesses reported the drone fired two missiles directly at the moving car, and emergency teams rushed to extinguish the fire and reopen the road.
This latest unclaimed strike adds to a growing string of mysterious drone attacks escalating tensions in northern Syria, highlighting the region’s ongoing instability and the high risks faced by civilians.

New satellite images reveal Israel is rapidly expanding construction at the Dimona nuclear facility, raising fears of a major nuclear escalation in West Asia. Experts warn the site could be linked to nuclear weapons development, with Israel already believed to hold 200–400 warheads. Iran has slammed the U.S. and EU for ignoring Israel’s nuclear ambitions while pressuring Tehran’s peaceful program. As Israel strengthens its nuclear posture against a weakened Iran, analysts warn the region could be on the brink of a dangerous confrontation.
