Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israeli troops will remain in Syrian territory indefinitely, blurring the border with Israel's northern neighbor.

Syria’s leadership isn’t the only aspect of the country to be changing as a result of this month’s toppling of longtime dictator, Bashar al-Assad. The blurring of its borders is also underway — from Israel to the southwest and Turkey to the north.

More than 25,000 Syrians have left Turkey for Syria in the past two weeks, Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya told the state news agency Anadolu on Tuesday. Turkey has taken in more refugees from war-torn Syria than any other country.

The head of the World Health Organization said he was about to board a flight in the Yemeni capital when the airport came under bombardment.

Israel struck multiple targets linked to the Iran-aligned Houthi movement in Yemen on Thursday, including Sanaa International Airport, and Houthi media said three people were killed.

The Israel Defense Forces claimed responsibility for a series of airstrikes in Yemen on Thursday it claimed were targeting Houthi military infrastructure.
