Israel bombs Syrian air bases, destroys military aircraft and violates ceasefire agreement

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.
