Israel Launches New Strikes in Syria as Syrians Vote in Parliamentary Elections

HeadlineJul 15, 2024

A Syrian soldier was killed Sunday after Israel launched fresh strikes in and around Damascus. Israel’s military said it had targeted a Syrian military command center as well as other infrastructure in response to two drones that were fired toward Israel from Syrian territory. This comes as parliamentary elections are taking place in Syria today, which could pave the way for a constitutional amendment to extend the term of President Bashar al-Assad. This is the fourth election that’s been held in Syria since the war began in 2011.
