Amid the ongoing tension in the Middle East, Israel has now bombed Syria in which the state TV building in central Damascus also got attacked. A live TV anchor during a broadcast ran immediately as the strikes seemed closer to the site. The video, shared by Israel's defence minister Israel Katz, of the woman running away during a live broadcast has gone viral. It shows that as the woman was delivering news, seconds later, a bomb blasted behind her in a place which was being telecast and then immediately the screen shuddered along with the TV anchor, who quickly ran keeping her head down.
After the bombings, Israel's defence minister Israel Katz gave a warning to Syria on social media saying, "The warnings in Damascus have ended - now painful blows will come."
The Israeli military on Wednesday, July 16, stated that it struck the entrance of the Syrian army’s headquarters in Damascus, adding that the Israel Defence Force (IDF) continues to monitor developments and the regime's actions against Druze civilians in southern Syria. “The IDF struck the entrance of the Syrian regime's military headquarters in the area of Damascus in Syria. The IDF continues to monitor developments and the regime's actions against Druze civilians in southern Syria", the IDF wrote in a post on 'X'.
The attacks were launched as per the directives from Israel's political leadership, it added. "In accordance with directives from the political echelon, the IDF is striking in the area and remains prepared for various scenarios".
