Israel's Military Operations in Syria: A Historic Offensive
In a significant escalation of military actions, the Israeli Army has reported the destruction of the Syrian army's capabilities in what has been described as the largest air operation in Israel's history. According to Israeli Army Radio, the military incursion has reached approximately 25 kilometers southwest of Damascus, targeting key military assets to prevent opposition forces from gaining access to them. This operation is part of a broader strategy to dismantle the remnants of the Syrian military following the recent fall of President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
Extensive Damage to Syrian Military Infrastructure
Israeli forces have reportedly conducted over 250 targeted strikes within Syrian territory since the regime's collapse, focusing on military bases, aircraft, and missile systems. Explosions were reported in Damascus and surrounding areas, indicating the intensity of the airstrikes. Notably, major air bases were bombed, resulting in the destruction of numerous helicopters and fighter jets. Specific targets included the Mezzeh military airport and the headquarters of the Fourth Division of the Republican Guard, among others. The Israeli military aims to neutralize any potential threats posed by Syrian strategic weapons.
Continued Airstrikes and Regional Implications
The Israeli air force has maintained a relentless campaign, with reports indicating more than 100 air raids on various military sites across Syria in a single day. The attacks have extended to the city of Daraa, where key military installations were targeted. As Israeli reconnaissance flights continue over Damascus, the situation remains tense, with potential implications for regional security as the dynamics in Syria evolve post-Assad.
