Israel Bombs Syria After Interim Government Demands Israeli Withdrawal

HeadlineFeb 26, 2025

In Syria, at least two people are dead after Israel’s military launched air raids on the capital and parts of southern Syria. On Tuesday, low-flying Israeli warplanes rattled residents of Damascus before dropping bombs on the nearby town of Kiswe. Separately, Israel bombed sites in the southern province of Daraa. Israel’s military later said it had struck military command centers and “multiple sites containing weapons.” The attacks came just hours after Syria’s transitional government demanded that Israel withdraw from Syrian territory it has occupied since rebels ousted Bashar al-Assad in December.
