Escalation of Violence in Syria Sparks UN Warnings Amid Israeli Attacks in Lebanon
The increasing violence in Syria has raised alarms within the UN, with concerns that the country might face its most violent year since 2020. Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon have resulted in significant casualties, with reports indicating at least 51 deaths from recent assaults. The situation has escalated further with U.S. actions against Iranian-backed militias in northeastern Syria, amid Turkish airstrikes targeting Kurdish extremists. U.S. President Joe Biden condemned the issuance of arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, asserting support for Israel’s security.
