Israel targets air defense system in Syria, state news agency says

Israel has reportedly targeted an air defense system in Syria, as tensions escalate in the region following recent attacks between Iran and Israel. The attack comes after an airstrike on a base used by Iran-allied militias in Iraq, and world leaders are calling for both countries to avoid further conflict. The United States, Russia, and other nations are urging restraint to prevent the situation from worsening. The incident has also led to the deaths of Palestinian detainees in Israeli custody, further adding to the volatile situation in the Middle East.
