Israel again bombs Syria airbases
The Israeli military says it launched attacks on the Syrian airbases of Tadmur and T-4. In a post on X, the military said it struck the “remaining military capabilities” in the airfields located near the city of Palmyra in Homs.
The attacks come days after the Israeli military bombed the same bases.
Earlier on Monday, the EU’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, said Israel’s strikes on Syria, as well as Lebanon, risked “further escalation”. She said Israel’s attacks on Syria – which began after the fall of longtime leader Bashar al-Assad in December – were “unnecessary because Syria is right now not attacking Israel and that feeds more radicalisation that is also against Israel”.
Unnecessary? How about the attacks are war crimes, violating international law and Syria's sovereignty. Unnecessary, the EU is pathetic.
Five people killed by Israeli attack near Syria’s Deraa
Israeli forces launched a deadly new attack on the Syrian town of Koya, near Deraa.

The report comes hours after Israel’s military said it struck two Syrian airbases near the city of Palmyra.
