Israel has conducted airstrikes in Syria targeting suspected chemical weapons sites and long-range rockets. The Israeli foreign minister stated the strikes aim to prevent these weapons from being acquired by hostile groups. The strikes follow recent developments in Syria, where President Bashar Assad's government has faced challenges after years of civil war. Israel has expressed concerns about the potential security vacuum in the region. Israeli forces reportedly seized a buffer zone in Syria, and airstrikes were noted near the Mezzeh military airport. Israel has previously targeted this site, but details of the latest strikes remain unclear.
