Rocket Fragments Narrowly Miss Pedestrians in Tel Aviv

During the recent 2-month conflict between Israel and Gaza, mutual rocket fire has led to rocket fragments falling into urban areas. Yesterday in Tel Aviv, Israel’s capital, a part of a rocket intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system landed near a tree in front of a toy store. Two pedestrians narrowly avoided being struck by these fragments as they walked along the sidewalk.

According to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), intense clashes persisted in the Gaza Strip, with 250 locations targeted in the region just yesterday.

US Flag Raised Again at Embassy in Damascus After 12 Year

0

 

The US flag has been hoisted once more at the US Embassy in Damascus, Syria, for the first time since its closure in 2012.

US Special Representative for Syria Thomas Barrack made his first official visit to Damascus and personally raised the flag during a ceremony attended by Syrian Foreign Minister Assad Hassan Shaybani. The embassy had suspended operations amid the outbreak of civil conflict following anti-government protests.

No official statement has been issued regarding the resumption of embassy operations.

The move follows a surprise meeting earlier this month between US President Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara in Riyadh, where a decision was made to lift sanctions imposed during the Assad era, signaling a potential shift in Washington-Damascus relations.
