Israel continues attacks on Syria, Lebanon despite US push for diplomacy

Israeli artillery, air raids, and ground incursions continue in southern Syria and southern Lebanon despite US diplomatic efforts to end the strikes. Israeli forces shelled a strategic hilltop near Beit Jinn and conducted a ground raid in Quneitra, while US-mediated talks between Syrian and Israeli officials in Jordan are not expected to yield a breakthrough. The ongoing attacks follow Israel's hundreds of strikes on Syria since the fall of Bashar al-Assad and include tensions over a bombed Syrian airbase near the Turkish border.
