Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to establish 'relations' with the new regime in Syria but warns that Israel will attack if it becomes a threat. The Israel Defense Forces have launched strikes on military targets in Syria to prevent extremist groups from gaining access to military capabilities. It remains unclear who will take over the leadership of Syria after the collapse of the Bashar al-Assad regime. Israel's strikes have targeted anti-aircraft batteries, airfields, and weapons depots in multiple cities. The United Nations has condemned Israel's military encroachment into Syrian territory and called for a stop to the attacks.
