Israel targets chemical weapons and rockets in Syria airstrikes

Israel has conducted airstrikes in Syria targeting suspected chemical weapons sites and long-range rockets. The strikes aim to prevent these weapons from being acquired by hostile groups, according to Israel's foreign minister. The strikes follow the recent overthrow of President Bashar Assad's government, which has raised concerns about a security vacuum in Syria. Israel views the fall of Assad, an ally of Iran and Hezbollah, as a potential opportunity for its security. Details about the timing and specific locations of the strikes were not disclosed. However, airstrikes were reported near the Mezzeh military airport in Damascus, a site previously targeted by Israel.
