Israeli occupation aircraft were observed in the skies over Syrian governorates this morning, according to Syria TV's correspondent. Simultaneously, government security forces conducted raids in the Western Damascus neighborhood of A-Somaria, with opposition sources reporting attempts to displace residents based on religious background, targeting a minority community. The presence of Israeli aircraft was confirmed by Syria TV's correspondent, who reported their activity in the sky over the governorates without further immediate details on their specific actions or targets. The timing of these observations coincides with the security operations in Damascus. In Western Damascus, reports indicate that government security forces are attempting to expel residents from their homes in A-Somaria. Opponent sources claim these actions are motivated by religious and sectarian reasons, targeting members of a minority group within the area. The full extent and impact of these raids remain unconfirmed by official government statements. Separately, a statement attributed to Barak indicates a readiness to negotiate with Israel for the benefit of his country, though the context and specific identity of 'Barak' in relation to this statement are not further elaborated in the provided sources.
