🚨🇸🇾🇾🇪 Damascus calls the reported plan to send up to 20,000 Syrian troops to fight the Houthis "false and baseless" Syrian presidential adviser Ahmad Muaffaq on the reports: "However, what some media outlets are promoting about the Kingdom requesting the deployment of Syrian forces to Saudi Arabia or Yemen is false and baseless." He still pledged that Syria stands "firmly and resolutely" with Riyadh, so either the officials got it wrong or Damascus isn't ready to say it publicly.

Israeli Defense Minister: After Damascus ignored the warning, I authorized, along with the Prime Minister, the military to carry out the airstrike on the Syrian "Abu al-Zuhour" airbase, and it was successfully executed.
