Saudi Arabia renews call for international community to stand by Syria
DUBAI: The Saudi foreign ministry condemned the Israeli attacks on Syrian territory in a statement on X. The ministry expressed its satisfaction with the measures taken by the Syrian government to achieve security and stability over all Syrian territory. Saudi Arabia called for the international community to stand by Syria and confront these ongoing Israeli attacks and violations against Syria. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan discussed Israeli attacks on Syria with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan on Wednesday. The two ministers held the call after Israel launched powerful airstrikes in Damascus on Wednesday, blowing up part of the defense ministry and hitting near the presidential palace. The attacks marked a significant Israeli escalation against President Ahmed Al-Sharaa's government and came despite his warming ties with the US and his administration's evolving security contacts with Israel. Scores of people have been killed this week in violence in and around the predominantly Druze city of Sweida, pitting fighters from the Druze minority against government security forces and members of Bedouin tribes.

Houthis claim missile attack on Israel's main airport
The Houthi militia claimed a missile launched at Israel's main civilian airport, after the Israeli military said it intercepted a missile fired from the Arabian Peninsula country. The Iran-backed group targeted Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv with a 'Zulfiqar ballistic missile' and drone, military spokesman Yehya Saree said late Wednesday. In the video statement, he also announced drone attacks on military targets and the southern Israeli port of Eilat. The Houthis have launched repeated missile and drone attacks against Israel since the Gaza war began in October 2023, claiming solidarity with Palestinians. In response, Israel has carried out several air strikes on Yemen, including on the port city of Hodeida earlier this month. The Israeli military had said that 'following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, one missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted.' Early on Wednesday, pro-government forces in Yemen said they seized '750 tons of weapons' en route from Iran to the Houthis. US Central Command hailed the operation, calling it 'the largest seizure of Iranian advanced conventional weapons in their history.' Tarek Saleh, who heads the Yemeni National Resistance Forces, said in a post on X that the seizure included 'naval and air missile systems, an air defense system, modern radars, drones, monitoring devices, anti-tank missiles, B-10 artillery, tracking lenses, sniper rifles, ammunition, and military equipment.' Earlier this month, the Houthis resumed deadly attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, targeting ships they accuse of having links to Israel, to force Israel to end the Gaza war.
