Dual Purpose of Israel Strikes
- Israel's strikes in Syria serve a dual purpose: protecting the Druze community and weakening the Syrian government forces.
- Genuine concern for the Druze may be used to justify broader military actions against Syria.
Deadly Crush at Gaza Food Point

- Witnesses and verified hospital videos described bodies piled on carts amid chaotic crowd conditions.
