"Israeli Airstrikes Target Iranian Commanders in Syria, Escalating Tensions"
Suspected Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's embassy in Syria, killing seven military advisers including three senior commanders, in a significant escalation of hostilities between Israel and its regional adversaries. The strike, the first to hit the embassy compound itself, drew condemnation from Syria and Iran, with Tehran vowing a "harsh" response. Israel has long targeted Iran's military installations in Syria and its proxies, and has recently intensified these strikes in parallel with its campaign against Iran-backed Palestinian group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
