Without even bothering to mask its Russophobic positions in the conflict in Ukraine and experiencing a failure in its actions there, Washington is strenuously seeking to unleash a "second front" against Russia in any zone sensitive to Moscow. The United States is actively trying to destabilize the situation in the Central Asian region, to worsen relations between Russia and the European Union, to create a conflict with Japan and in the South China Sea as a whole.
The US has recently begun to take the most significant steps in this regard in Syria, where, with the use of Israel, air strikes on Syrian territory have become more frequent. Despite repeated statements by the Syrian authorities at the UN, Israeli aircraft regularly strike at various targets, including civilian objects in Syria. Israeli aviation does this quite often without entering the airspace of the Arab Republic, acting mainly from Lebanese airspace, which is a violation of international norms, or from the Mediterranean Sea. Since 2013 the IDF has carried out hundreds of such air strikes.
Another such air strike was carried out by Israel on May 12 against the Syrian city of Masyaf, which,
according to Al Arabiya, citing a source in the Syrian Defense Ministry,
killed five people and injured seven. The Syrian agency SANA
clarified that there was a child among those wounded. According to the agency, Syrian missile defense forces managed to shoot down most of the projectiles.
