U.S. airstrikes targeted ISIS militants in Syria following the recent overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad by rebel forces. This action aims to prevent ISIS from exploiting the current instability in the region. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed credit for the fall of Assad, stating that Israel is dismantling Iranian influence in the Middle East. He emphasized Israel's strengthened position in the region. While many Syrians celebrate Assad's removal, concerns arise over the new rebel leader, a former Al Qaeda chief, and potential infighting among factions. Thousands of refugees are returning home, but challenges remain as they seek loved ones and stability.
