Israel Bombs Syrian Army HQ | B'desh Stops Destruction Of Satyajit Ray's Ancestral Home

Israel has carried out a series of powerful strikes on the Syrian capital Damascus Wednesday, escalating a campaign it says is in support of an Arab minority group involved in deadly clashes with Syrian government forces. Israel has stepped up its campaign despite pressure from the US, which has made moves to end Syria's international isolation. More than 350 people are reported to have been killed since Sunday, when clashes between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes erupted in Suweida. The Syrian military reportedly began to withdraw its forces from Suweida late on Wednesday, as the US said it had agreed "steps" to end the violence.
