Syrian Armed Forces Successfully Intercept Eight Drones Aimed at Towns and Military Positions Near Aleppo and Idlib

Today, Syrian state media reported that the Syrian armed forces shot down eight drones aimed at towns and military positions in the countryside near Aleppo and Idlib. According to the Defense Ministry, the drones belonged to “terrorists” and were prevented from reaching their targets.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, people are fleeing central Gaza in response to an Israeli evacuation order. Residents of refugee camps in central Gaza reported that Israeli forces bombarded the area on Tuesday, in apparent preparation to expand their ground offensive.

The news comes as international pressure for a cease-fire in Gaza continues to mount. U.S. officials have called for a reduction in civilian casualties, but so far, calls to end the war have gone unanswered. Conditions for civilians in Gaza have worsened as they are driven into smaller corners of territory in search of refuge.

The conflict in Gaza has been ongoing for weeks, and it remains to be seen how the situation will develop. For now, the Syrian armed forces have successfully prevented the drones from reaching their targets.
