Tensions in the Middle East have intensified following a deadly Israeli strike in southern Syria that resulted in the deaths of more than a dozen people. The United Arab Emirates, a significant Arab partner of Israel through the Abraham Accords, has strongly condemned the attack, labeling it a 'dangerous escalation' and a violation of Syria's sovereignty. Israel maintains that its forces were targeted while trying to apprehend individuals allegedly involved in terror activities. The incident has raised concerns about the stability of recent diplomatic agreements in the region.
