Significant explosions were reported in Damascus as Israeli air forces launched about 250 strikes across Syria after the recent overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad. The strikes targeted Syrian military installations, including important airbases and defense facilities, in an effort to cripple military capabilities. The United States and Qatar welcomed an agreement for a smooth power transfer involving jihadist groups and the former Prime Minister, while UN Security Council members maintain a cautious stance on the evolving situation.
