Abdi in March signed a deal with Al-Sharaa to incorporate the semi-autonomous administration of northeast Syria into the main state institutions based in Damascus.
Israeli strikes
On the other hand, the Israeli occupation army carried out airstrikes in Latakia and Tartus in northwestern Syria late on Friday, targeting alleged “storage facilities” containing “missiles,” resulting in one fatality and property damage.

One civilian was martyred in the strikes that targeted an area between the villages of Zama and Burj Islam in southern Latakia, while another targeted the outskirts of Tartus port, causing property damage.
The Israeli enemy has attacked sites in Syria multiple times since the ouster of former President Bashar Al-Assad in December. Occupation forces have taken large swaths of Syria’s south including the Syrian controlled Golan Heights which also includes the strategic Mount Hermon.
