ALBAWABA- At least two people were killed and 19 others wounded in Israeli airstrikes on the outskirts of Daraa, southern Syria, as Israel continues its military aggression in the region. Also Read Israeli forces strike Islamic Jihad positions in Damascus, Syria
According to Syria's state news agency SANA, Israeli warplanes launched multiple strikes targeting areas around Daraa city.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the attack struck a military site hosting forces from Syria's new army.
The Israeli army stated that its recent attacks in Syria targeted command headquarters and military sites belonging to the former regime, following attempts to restore their operational capacity.
The army described the presence of such military infrastructure in southern Syria as a direct threat to Israel, vowing to prevent any military buildup in the region and take action against it.
The latest assault follows an Israeli airstrike last Thursday on the Syrian capital, Damascus, which targeted what Israel claimed was a command center linked to the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad. Also Read Trump issues unprecedented warning to Iran over Houthi attacks
Syrian authorities said three civilians were injured in that attack, including a woman in critical condition.
Israel has ramped up its airstrikes across Syria, citing military targets, but Syrian officials and monitoring groups warn that these attacks often result in civilian casualties and escalate tensions in the war-torn country.

Hundreds of Syrian return home voluntarily from Jordan
Residents of the Syrian city of Homs welcomed a convoy of families returning voluntarily from Jordan after displacement during the Syrian uprising. The return was organized by the humanitarian group Waqf Farah in coordination with the Homs Governorate. Yahiya Rifai, a representative of the organization, told Syria's official news agency SANA that the convoy is the second to depart Jordan's Azraq camp voluntarily as part of ongoing efforts to support stability and the return of displaced families to their hometowns and villages. Rifai said the arrangements followed a visit by Waqf Farah's founder, Dr. Mohammad Rahif Hakmi, to Azraq camp, where coordination took place with relevant authorities to facilitate the return. The convoy included 235 families—around 730 people—who were previously forcibly displaced from Syria to Jordan. They arrived in Homs province aboard buses, accompanied by trucks carrying their belongings. The organization also distributed food baskets and clothing to all returning families. The convoy entered Syria through the Nassib border crossing in Daraa province on Saturday and continued to 14 residential areas in rural Homs, with support from Waqf Farah and in coordination with Syrian, Jordanian, and Emirati authorities.

Barcelona ends 'friendship agreement' with Tel Aviv over Gaza aggression
Barcelona City Council voted Friday to sever institutional ties with the 'Israeli' government and suspend its friendship agreement with Tel Aviv, citing violations of international law and the need to uphold the basic rights of the Palestinian people. The motion, which includes nearly 20 provisions, was backed by the ruling Socialist party in the city as well as various leftist and pro-independence parties. It calls for ending institutional relations with 'the current Israeli government' and suspending the friendship pact signed on Sept. 24, 1998, between the Catalan capital and Tel Aviv. Barcelona Mayor Jaume Collboni said the "level of suffering and death witnessed in Gaza over the past year and a half, along with the repeated attacks carried out by the Israeli government in recent weeks... make any relationship between the two cities unsustainable." Among other measures in the resolution — some of which fall outside the council's direct authority — the City Council urged the board of the Barcelona Trade Fair not to host 'Israeli' government pavilions or 'arms companies or any other sector that profits from genocide, occupation, apartheid, and colonialism against the Palestinian people.' A similar recommendation is also under consideration for the Port of Barcelona, which could involve denying entry to ships linked to weapons transfers to 'Israel'. This is not the first time Barcelona has cut ties with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. In February 2023, then-Mayor Ada Colau announced the suspension of relations with 'Israel' and paused the city's twinning agreements with Tel Aviv. That decision was later reversed after Jaume Collboni won the municipal elections. Spain's Socialist-led government, under Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, officially recognized the State of Palestine on May 28, 2024, along with Ireland and Norway.

Saudi FM to make rare visit to West Bank
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan will travel to Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, marking the first visit by a top Saudi diplomat to the territory since 'Israel' captured it in 1967, a source at the Palestinian embassy in Riyadh told AFP on Friday. "A ministerial delegation led by the foreign minister will head to Ramallah on Sunday," the source said. The visit comes amid heightened tensions, as 'Israel' has vowed to establish a "Jewish Israeli state" in the West Bank and has ramped up plans to expand settlements in the territory, drawing international criticism. Saudi Arabia previously sent a lower-level delegation to Ramallah in September 2023—its first official visit to the Palestinian seat of government since 1967.
