smh.com.au

Israeli planes have bombed three major Syrian army air bases, destroying numerous helicopters and jets. This marks the largest attack on Syrian air bases since the fall of Bashar al-Assad. The targeted bases include Qamishli, Shinshar, and Aqrba, along with strikes on a research center and an electronic warfare facility near Damascus. The United Nations reports that Israeli forces are occupying a demilitarized buffer zone between Israel and Syria, which violates a ceasefire agreement established in 1974.
