Israeli Airstrike Hits Damascus, Killing at Least One
"There will be no immunity for Islamic terrorism against Israel, whether in Damascus or anywhere else. We will not allow Syria to become a threat to the State of Israel," said Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz

Syrian state media reported the attack, with the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights noting at least one fatality.
In a statement, Katz declared, "There will be no immunity for Islamic terrorism against Israel, whether in Damascus or anywhere else. We will not allow Syria to become a threat to the State of Israel."
This development follows recent Israeli military actions in Syria, including strikes on military targets in Deraa province and al-Kiswah near Damascus, as reported by the Financial Times.
