Israeli warplanes have carried out a massive bombing campaign in Syria, with more than 100 airstrikes reported in a single day, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The UK-based human rights organization says military sites in Damascus, Daraa, Latakia, and Hama have been targeted.
Israel claims the airstrikes are aimed at preventing weapons from falling into the hands of extremist groups. However, the move has sparked widespread condemnation, with many countries expressing concern over the escalating violence in the region.
In a related development, the UK has announced that it will be pausing asylum decisions on cases from Syria, following similar statements from several other European countries. This move is likely to affect tens of thousands of open asylum claims.
Meanwhile, in Syria, huge crowds have gathered outside the notorious Saydnaya prison, amid allegations that some inmates were being held in underground cells. The prison has been at the centre of human rights concerns for many years, with reports of torture and mistreatment of prisoners.
The situation in Syria remains highly volatile, with the country plunged into chaos following the recent fall of the Assad regime. The international community is calling for calm and restraint, as the country navigates this critical period in its history.
