Israel, which continues its genocidal attacks in Palestine and Lebanon, is expanding its target northward. The Syrian state news agency SANA reported that five Syrian soldiers were killed in an attack by Israel early this morning on a military area near the Syria-Lebanon border in rural Damascus. HEZBOLLAH SUPPORTS THE ASSAD REGIMEThe Israeli army, which has been engaged in controlled clashes with Hezbollah since October 8, carried out hundreds of airstrikes on southern Lebanese cities, as well as the Bekaa and Baalbek regions, on September 23. According to Lebanese authorities, 748 people have died in the escalating airstrikes, and approximately 150,000 people have been displaced within the country due to the bombardment. It is known that Hezbollah supports the Assad regime. THE TIMING IS SIGNIFICANTThe attack occurred a day after the Israeli army announced that it had targeted "the infrastructure used by Hezbollah to transfer weapons from Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon" along the Syria-Lebanon border. The Syrian Ministry of Defense stated regarding the attack, "The enemy Israel carried out an airstrike on one of our military positions near Kfar Yabus on the Syria-Lebanon border." “ATTACKS WILL INCREASE”During a visit to the city of Safed, which has been targeted by rocket attacks in recent days, Israeli Defense Minister Gallant stated that Israel would increase its attacks against Hezbollah. He said, "We will continue to enhance this effort to bring security to the northern city and safely return those who have been evacuated to their homes." “END THE WAR, SIGN THE AGREEMENT”Before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the 79th United Nations General Assembly, protesters opposing the attacks in Gaza gathered in front of the UN Headquarters. The large group identified themselves as Jews demonstrating against the occupation and war in Palestinian territories and protested against Prime Minister Netanyahu from Israel. A speaker addressing the gathered crowd called for a ceasefire in Gaza and stated that Netanyahu would lie to the world in his UN speech just as he lied to the Israelis. The speaker said, "Stop killing children, end the war, sign the agreement, bring the hostages home. There is no military solution."
