  • Israel has launched a bombing campaign in Syria, targeting air bases, weaponry and suspected chemical weapons facilities, purportedly to disarm extremists.

The article from MSN discusses Israel's military actions in Syria, focusing on the reasons behind Israel's frequent airstrikes. Israel has been bombing targets in Syria primarily to prevent Iran from establishing a military presence there, which could pose a direct threat to Israel. These strikes target Iranian weapons shipments, military bases, and infrastructure that could be used by Iran or its proxy forces like Hezbollah. The article explains that Israel views these operations as necessary for its national security, aiming to curb the transfer of advanced weaponry to Hezbollah and to counterbalance Iran's growing influence in the region. Additionally, the strikes are often unacknowledged by Israel, following a policy of ambiguity regarding its military actions in foreign territories. The piece also touches on the broader geopolitical implications, including the reactions from Syria, Russia, and the international community, highlighting the complex dynamics of Middle Eastern politics.
