The United Nations Security Council convened an emergency meeting in response to Israel’s increased airstrikes on Syria. Israel conducted the strikes as a warning to the new Islamist leadership in Damascus, accusing Turkey of attempting to turn Syria into a Turkish protectorate. The escalation comes amid rising tensions in the region, with Israel voicing concerns over its security and the shifting dynamics of Syrian governance. The Security Council is expected to discuss potential international responses and efforts to de-escalate the situation.
