Why is Israel bombing Syria?

World in 10

Huge strikes—including on Syria’s military HQ in Damascus—signal a new phase in Israel’s ‘war on seven fronts’. Binyamin Netanyahu claims the moves aim to prevent harm to Syria’s Druze minority, but Syria’s interim president insists he’ll protect their rights. The Times’ long-time Middle East correspondent, Richard Spencer, unpacks the motives, consequences, and the complex sectarian dynamics at play.
