Israel continues to escalate tensions in the Middle East despite warnings from almost all countries in the United Nations Security Council. Israel, which continues its massacre in Gaza, has carried out an airstrike on the Syrian capital Damascus after Lebanon. 3 CIVILIANS KILLED, 3 CIVILIANS INJUREDIn a report by the Syrian regime's agency SANA, based on military sources, it was claimed that Israel targeted a building in the Mezze neighborhood with an airstrike around 17:25 local time. The report stated, "3 civilians lost their lives in the attack, and 3 civilians were injured. Material damage occurred in the area." It was also claimed that Israeli forces had carried out airstrikes on multiple military points in Mezze the previous night. No statement has yet been made by Israeli authorities regarding the attack. Since the civil war began in 2011, Israel has periodically attacked military points belonging to Iranian-backed groups and the Syrian army in Syria. IRAN IGNITED THE FUSE FOR MISSILE ATTACKThe Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps announced on October 1 that it had launched an attack on Israel with dozens of ballistic missiles. After the missiles were launched, sirens sounded across the country, especially in Tel Aviv. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in a video message that Iran made "a big mistake" with the missile attack and would "pay the price."
