in terms of going solo. They know they have the orange turd's approval. This is the kind of shit that's going on while he keeps the media and most American sheeple entranced with 'Epstein' BS as well as whether Coke will now have real sugar or not.

It's just thuggery.

Israel strikes Syria’s defence ministry in third day of attacks

The Israeli military struck the Syrian defence ministry in Damascus twice on Wednesday as it intervened in the clashes between the Syrian army and Druze fighters in southern Syria in the country’s deadliest violence in months.

The strikes collapsed four floors of the ministry and ruined its facade. The strikes killed one person and injured 18, Syrian officials said.

It was the first time Israel had targeted Damascus since May and the third day in a row it had conducted airstrikes against the Syrian military.

A spokesperson for the Israeli military said the strike on the defence ministry had been a message to the Syrian president, Ahmed al-Sharaa “regarding the events in Sweida”. The Israeli military struck Syrian tanks on Monday and has continued to conduct dozens of drone strikes on troops, killing some soldiers.
