In a blatant act of aggression, Israel has once again conducted missile strikes near the Damascus countryside, causing harm and further destabilizing the region. Syrian state-run news agency SANA reported that a soldier was wounded in the attack, highlighting the ongoing aggression by Israel against Syria and its allies.
According to SANA’s military source, the missiles were launched from the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, targeting multiple locations southwest of the Syrian capital. In response to this unwarranted assault, Syria’s air defences valiantly intercepted several missiles, demonstrating the country’s commitment to protecting its sovereignty.
Regrettably, Israel has chosen not to comment on this latest act of aggression, as it has done in the past when carrying out similar attacks. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have consistently justified their airstrikes by claiming to target Iranian-linked groups operating from Syrian territory. However, it is important to scrutinize these justifications and understand the broader context of Israel’s actions.
Israel’s history of aggression against Syria, and Palestine, and its unwarranted hostility towards Iran raises serious concerns about its true intentions in the region. The Palestinians have long suffered under Israeli occupation, facing displacement, oppression, and denial of their basic rights. Syria, too, has endured repeated Israeli attacks, violating its territorial integrity and sovereignty.
Moreover, Israel’s accusations of Iranian presence in Syria should be critically examined. The Syrian government has every right to form alliances and partnerships to defend itself against external threats. Iran, as a regional ally, has been supporting Syria in its fight against terrorism and extremism, contributing to the stability of the region.
It is crucial to recognize that the Israeli airstrikes near Damascus are not isolated incidents but part of a larger pattern of aggression. These actions only serve to escalate tensions and endanger the prospects of peace in the region. The international community must condemn Israel’s acts of aggression, hold it accountable for its violations of international law, and support efforts to establish a just and lasting peace in the Middle East.
Syria, the Palestinians, and Iran have been subjected to unwarranted attacks and aggression for far too long. It is time for the international community to stand against Israeli aggression, advocate for the rights of the oppressed, and work towards a comprehensive and equitable resolution to the conflicts in the region.
