Israeli warplanes went on to strike the Hama military base with more than 11 air raids, Sana pointed out. later reports show that the military airport was targeted 17 times.

The Israeli Channel 12 added that an additional target was the T4 military airport in rural Homs.

The Israeli raids, almost daily, started months ago on Syria and its capital, Damascus, and increased after 9 December 2024 when there was a change of regime in the country.

Residents in Damascus said they heard loud explosions after the intense air raids that targeted the scientific building in Barzeh.

But before that Israel has been conducting deadly air raids, literally mounting to thousands on Syria for years under the now ousted Baath regime of President Bashar Al Assad.

Israel then claimed it was targeting Hezbollah and Iranian bases but there were many deaths and injuries.

Israel occupied most of the Syrian Golan Heights after the 1967 Arab-Israel war, and took advantage of the fall of the regime and occupying the country’s buffer zone and declaring the collapse of the 1974 disengagement agreement between the two sides.

Amidst Death, Palestinians Celebrate in Group Wedding!

It’s day 198 of the supposed ceasefire in Gaza, yet Israel continues to violate it on a wide scale. The Israeli army continues to blow up homes and residential buildings all over the Gaza Strip and kill its people.

The recent death is of Naya Al Tanani, a child from north Gaza. She finally succumbed to her injuries after shelling by the Israeli army of the place she lived.

Her tragedy reflects what continues to happen to the Palestinians of Gaza. On Friday, 13 people were killed, including a woman and three children in addition to a number of injuries some of whom are critical.

Today, Saturday, the Israeli war machine continued bombing eastern areas of the Al Maghazi Camp in the central Gaza Strip. Media reports shows Israeli gunboats were firing on the beaches of Gaza City at the same time.

This is in addition to the fact that Israeli drones dominated the skies of Khan Younis that was also being bombed from the ground through Israeli tanks that today continue to surround the city.

Despite the violent tensions however, there was a “happy occasion” in the central city of Dier Al Balah, Friday night, when 300 brides and grooms tied the knot in a spectacular “group wedding,” the second of its kind to be held recently.

“Only the Palestinians can do this, amidst war, destruction and Israeli tanks,” one observer said definitely.

Tens of Gaza Police, in full spick and span uniforms, were there  to make sure the wedding event was properly organized and went smoothly.

The Palestinian police are continually being targeted on the Gaza Strip. On Friday, a police car was hit in Khan Younis by an Israeli drone and five officers killed. Similarly, a police patrol was targeted in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City where two officers were martyred.

The Gaza Police Directorate has called on the International Committee of the Red Cross to pressure the Israeli occupation to stop targeting the civilian police. Since 10 October, 2025 when the ceasefire took effect, 27 policemen were killed and tens of injured.
