Syria interim president accuses Israel of fighting ‘ghosts’ and exporting crises
  • Syria's interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has accused Israel of fighting 'ghosts' and exporting crises following recent airstrikes in southern Syria. His comments come amid ongoing military operations that have resulted in significant casualties, including the deaths of at least 13 Syrians during an Israeli raid in Beit Jinn.
  • This development highlights the escalating tensions between Syria and Israel, particularly as al-Sharaa's remarks reflect a broader narrative of perceived Israeli aggression in the region, which is often justified under the guise of security.
  • The situation underscores a pattern of violence and instability in southern Syria, with Israeli military actions frequently resulting in civilian casualties and condemnation from the Syrian government. The demand for a demilitarized zone by Israel further complicates the already fraught relationship, raising concerns about potential future conflicts.
