Arab newspapers published during the past week touched on the attacks of the Turkish occupation state on North and East Syria.

Turkey targets infrastructure in northern Syria

Turkish forces renewed their bombing of electricity generation stations in northeastern Syria, the day after they targeted several facilities, which led to the interruption of electricity supply to hundreds of villages and towns. According to the London-based Al-Arab newspaper

Since Friday, according to the Autonomous Administration, Turkish forces have been targeting infrastructure facilities, including oil stations, refineries, and electricity generation plants.

Observers believe that Turkey is deliberately targeting infrastructure in areas controlled by the Autonomous Administration in the context of a plan aimed at displacing the population by making the northern Syrian region unlivable.

Turkey claims that the goal of its military operations is to undermine the structure of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, but the ongoing operations have also focused on civilian and economic facilities, and Ankara is taking advantage of the international community's preoccupation with the Gaza war and tensions in the Red Sea.

The possibility of war is growing in Lebanon

Regarding the Lebanese issue, Al-Akhbar newspaper indicated that Hezbollah’s operations against Israeli positions from southern Lebanon towards northern occupied Palestine continued, while the Israelis continued to air complaints about the situation in which Hezbollah had placed them, in exchange for the return of the language of threatening to launch a war against Lebanon. Israeli Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy expressed his belief that the possibility of war with Lebanon in the coming months is very high. He said in a meeting with the staff of the Northern Command, “We are working to raise readiness for war in Lebanon, and we have many lessons from the war in Gaza, many of which are also appropriate for fighting in Lebanon, and others that we must adapt.”
