Israel has confirmed air strikes on suspected chemical weapons sites in Syria, with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar stating the actions aim to prevent such arms from falling into extremist hands. The Israeli military also released images of personnel operating near the Golan Heights. This escalation follows the toppling of Bashar al-Assad’s regime by Syrian rebel forces. The IDF characterized the strikes as a limited measure for security purposes, emphasizing a lack of interest in Syrian internal matters.
