What’s Happening Between Israel and Syria?
Hey there! Have you heard about the recent news between Israel and Syria? Let’s break it down together. 😊
Israel’s Actions
Recently, Israel sent its military forces into southern Syria. This was to prevent what they called “hostile forces” from entering areas where many Druze people live. The Druze are a religious and ethnic group with communities in Syria, Israel, and other countries.
Airstrikes in Syria
On Friday night, Israeli airplanes carried out airstrikes in Syria. This means they dropped bombs from planes to target certain places. Reports say that over 20 sites across six provinces in Syria were hit. This is considered one of the largest attacks this year.
The Israeli military said they were targeting things like anti-aircraft cannons (which are big guns that can shoot at planes) and missile launchers. They wanted to “eliminate any threat in the area” to keep Israel safe.
Effects of the Strikes
The strikes caused a lot of damage, and many people were injured. In places like Damascus, the capital of Syria, several areas were hit. The exact number of people hurt is still not clear.
Helping the Druze Community
An Israeli helicopter also brought aid (like food and medical supplies) to a Druze area in southern Syria. They said they were helping the Druze people, some of whom were taken to Israel for medical treatment.
International Reactions 🌍
Many countries and organizations around the world are concerned about these events. The United Nations (which is a group that includes almost all the countries in the world) asked Israel to stop the attacks and respect Syria’s borders.
Countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran have also spoken out against the airstrikes. They are worried that these actions could make things worse in the region.
Why It Matters
Conflicts like this can affect many people and can make it hard for families to live safely. It’s important for countries to find peaceful ways to solve problems.
Let’s Hope for Peace ✌️
Everyone hopes that the situation will get better and that peace can be achieved. It’s important for leaders to talk and work things out without fighting.
