Tensions Rise in the Middle East

The situation in the Middle East remains tense as Israel conducts air strikes on Syrian military bases near Damascus and advances ground troops in the south. Reports from Syria suggest that Israeli forces are penetrating the rural areas of Quneitra, Daraa, and Ain al-Bayda.

Meanwhile, Egypt is set to host negotiations on Sunday to discuss the second phase of the Gaza Agreement or extending the first phase. This comes as Lebanon grapples with internal challenges and finds solace in its relationship with the Mediterranean Sea.

On the ground, the situation remains volatile. An Al-Akhbar correspondent reported being fired upon by Israeli forces while filming near Al-Dhahira. Additionally, an Israeli drone attack on a car in the Bekaa region resulted in at least one fatality.

The coming days will be crucial in determining the trajectory of the conflict and the future of the region.
