Israel targets chemical weapons sites and rockets in Syria airstrikes

Israel has conducted airstrikes on suspected chemical weapons sites and long-range rockets in Syria. The foreign minister stated the strikes aim to prevent these weapons from being seized by hostile groups following recent changes in Syria's political landscape. The strikes occurred after Syrian rebels overthrew President Bashar Assad's government, raising concerns about a security vacuum. Israel has welcomed Assad's fall but remains cautious about the future. Details on the timing and locations of the strikes were not disclosed. Reports indicate airstrikes targeted the Mezzeh military airport near Damascus, a site previously hit by Israeli forces.
