Israel targets chemical weapons sites in Syria following regime collapse

Israeli forces have bombed chemical weapons sites in Syria, targeting weapons that could fall into extremist hands. This follows the recent collapse of President Bashar Assad's regime as rebel forces captured Damascus. The Israel Defense Forces have also entered a demilitarized buffer zone between Israel and Syria, citing threats from armed groups. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated this move aims to protect Israeli residents after Syrian troops abandoned their positions. Meanwhile, the U.S. conducted airstrikes against ISIS targets in central Syria, hitting 75 locations. U.S. officials emphasized their commitment to preventing ISIS from regaining strength amid the ongoing conflict in the region.
