JERUSALEM (AP) — In a surprise move, Israel has launched a series of airstrikes on Syria, hitting suspected chemical weapons sites and long-range rockets. The attack, confirmed by Israel's foreign minister on Monday, is believed to be a preemptive strike aimed at preventing these dangerous weapons from falling into the wrong hands.
According to Israeli officials, the attacks were carried out with the primary objective of neutralizing the threat posed by chemical weapons and long-range rockets in the region. By taking out these sites, Israel hopes to prevent hostile actors from acquiring these deadly assets, which could be used to launch attacks against Israeli civilians.
The Israeli foreign minister, in a statement released on Monday, emphasized the importance of taking proactive measures to protect the country's national security. The minister stated that Israel will not hesitate to take action when the country's security is at risk, adding that the latest airstrikes demonstrate the government's commitment to safeguarding its citizens.
While the Israeli government has not publicly disclosed the specific locations of the targeted sites, sources close to the matter suggest that the airstrikes were carried out in areas with high levels of militant activity. The sites are believed to be linked to various extremist groups operating in the region, some of which have been accused of possessing chemical weapons and long-range missiles.
The airstrikes have sparked concerns about the potential for escalation in the region. However, Israeli officials have assured that the operation was carefully planned and executed to minimize harm to civilians and maximize the effectiveness of the strikes.
As the situation continues to unfold, international leaders are calling for calm and restraint. The United Nations has issued a statement urging all parties involved to exercise caution and work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Despite the rising tensions, the Israeli government remains resolute in its determination to protect the country's national security. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, Israel is likely to remain vigilant and proactive in defending its citizens against any perceived threats.
