Israel launched airstrikes in Syria for the first time in nearly a month, targeting government weapons sites after two projectiles were fired toward Israel. Though the missiles landed in open areas, Israel held interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa responsible. Syria condemned the strikes, citing “heavy human and material losses,” and denied posing a regional threat. The incident follows a month of diplomatic moves, including U.S. sanctions relief and Syrian-Israeli talks. A little-known group, the Martyr Muhammad Deif Brigades, claimed responsibility for the projectiles, though this remains unverified. Syrian officials suspect Assad-era militias linked to Iran may be provoking tensions. Israeli strikes hit Damascus countryside, Quneitra, and Daraa, with residents reporting damage to farmland and restrictions on local activity.
Pray for the LORD to thwart all the plans of the evildoers against the peace of Syria and its neighboring countries. Pray for peaceful relations between Syria and Israel (The Holy Bible, Job 8:20).
Pray for the success of all the efforts of the Syrian government to lead the nation towards peace, reconciliation, and restoration. Pray for the perpetrators behind these attacks to be brought to justice quickly (The Holy Bible, Psalm 122:7).
