Additionally, a ship struck by a projectile off Qatar's coast and Syria announced its first cabinet reshuffle since Bashar al-Assad's ouster, signaling institutional changes in post-Assad Damascus. The incidents reflect broader Middle Eastern instability involving Israeli-Iranian hostilities and Syria's political transition.
