The United Nations special envoy for Syria is warning that the Israel-Hamas war is spilling into the neighboring country.
With the region “at its most dangerous and tense,” he said, “fuel is being added to a tinderbox that was already beginning to ignite” in Syria, which was seeing a surge in violence even before Oct. 7.
Pedersen said the number of Syrians killed, injured and displaced is at its highest since 2020, citing a significant intensification of attacks in government-controlled areas, including an unclaimed attack on a graduation ceremony at a military academy in Homs, which the government attributes to terrorist organizations.
He also reported government rocket attacks throughout October on Hayat Tahrir al Sham — the insurgent group that rules much of rebel-held northwest Syria — as well as a major escalation of Turkish strikes in the northeast following an attack on Turkish government facilities in Ankara. The Turkish strikes have killed dozens, damaged health facilities, schools and camps, and displaced more than 120,000 civilians, he said.
This compounds an already precarious situation for the Syrian people
Deaths and displacements are at the highest levels since 2020
Turkey's strikes in northeastern Syria and Assad's rocket attacks on HTS made the situation more problematic

Someone call Jake Sullivan.
His attempt to contain the war within Gaza, have failed.

I believe that the Israel-Hamas war spilling into Syria will cause more conflict in the region thus escalating the war.
@9GLSQTN6mos6MO
I'm not sure i just think its sad that other countries that was involved in their fight and have to get brought into it when they didnt do anything
@9GLWCWN6mos6MO
I believe that the Israel-Hamas conflict is bad for both sides as civilians are dying due to mistakes for both Israel and Hamas
@9GLSWWY6mos6MO
It's crazy how Hamas is bombing Isarel and wants to get in a war with them and it's sad that they think that is okay.
@9GLZJTL6mos6MO
I think the Israel-Hamas conflict must be contained in order to limit foreign involvement, but the war crimes being committed must be faced.
@WearyPacifistLibertarian6mos6MO
How is it inappropriate for Syria to be involved in the gaza situation when America is illegally occupying Syria and Israel not on funds isis to attack Syria but also bombs them frequently?
Israel and America are terrorist states
@9GLW4666mos6MO
Israel is committing genocide, and we're advertising them as the good guys.
@9GLXVN66mos6MO
Both are selfish and need to come up with a peaceful solution beofre thye destory one another.
@9GLTRXN6mos6MO
International conflicts are of utmost importance
@9GLZDSK6mos6MO
Other nations should not interfere with this war because if one does, then it can pull the whole world into a catastrophic event.
@9GMKV726mos6MO
The war is going crazy and it should come to an end before World War 3 happens.
@9GMBDJC6mos6MO
I think that could be the most important news since we know where the war is going and we can go control it.
@9GM9KXS6mos6MO
I currently do not have enough knowledge on the current conflict to form a reputable or intellectually sound opinion.
@9GM3PFZIndependent6mos6MO
The palestinians are facing a modern genocide and no one is talking about it
