US State Dept: Strikes in Syria Don't Guarantee Security; Israel Shells Al-Hamid

A US State Department source told Syria Now that military strikes and infiltrations in Syria do not always provide security for Syria or Israel, suggesting a preference for security arrangements. Concurrently, Israeli artillery shelled the outskirts of Al-Hamid village, indicating ongoing cross-border tensions. The statement signals potential US pressure for de-escalation, but no concrete policy shift is confirmed.
