Tensions Rise as Israel Launches Airstrikes in Syria Amid Druze Conflict

The United States expressed dissatisfaction with recent Israeli airstrikes in Syria amidst escalating tensions involving the Druze minority. The strikes targeted government facilities and exacerbated ongoing conflicts in the region.
