Israel has launched airstrikes on military sites in Syria, targeting former regime facilities and potentially weakening future Syrian state defenses. This action coincides with Israel's expansion of settlements in the occupied Golan Heights, as stated by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Meanwhile, Syria is dealing with the aftermath of decades of tyranny, with recent discoveries of human remains near Damascus highlighting the regime's brutality. These remains, found in bags, suggest a connection to Iranian and Iraqi allies of the Assad regime. The White Helmets, led by Abdur Rahman, are working to recover these remains, emphasizing the importance of transitional justice and reconciliation for families of the disappeared. The U.S. is also engaging with HTS, the force that ousted Assad, to stress the urgency of locating missing American journalist Austin Ty. France is set to send a delegation to Syria, marking a significant diplomatic move as the rebel authority seeks to stabilize the country.
