The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

These strikes are essential to prevent weapons from falling into the hands of hostile jihadist forces and to maintain regional security. The operation also aims to prevent Turkish military expansion in Syria while ensuring no military threats emerge near Israeli borders.

Israel National NewsJerusalem Post

Anti-Israel narrative

These attacks reflect a blatant violation of international law and Syrian sovereignty, deliberately attempting to destabilize Syria and impede its reconstruction efforts after 14 years of civil war. The strikes have resulted in civilian casualties and extensive damage to critical infrastructure.
