Devastating earthquake, Israel sends troops to help Syria for the first time

Israel will send aid to Syria for the first time. It is about troops that will come to the aid of the country after the devastating earthquake.

Speaking at a press conference, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a request had been made by the Assad regime. He added that Israeli aid will also be sent to Turkey.

Syrian officials have reported that hundreds have been killed in the civil war-torn country, both in areas under Damascus' control and in the opposition-held northwest.

Israel and Syria have been at war for decades, with periods of ceasefire. For a time, Israel helped Syrian rebels border the Golan Heights.
