aljazeera.com

Israel has conducted around 250 air strikes in Syria over the past 48 hours, targeting key military sites. This follows the recent ousting of President Bashar al-Assad by opposition forces, creating a security vacuum. Strikes focused on military installations, including air defense facilities near Latakia and airports in Homs, Qamishli, and Damascus. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported significant damage to military capabilities, including warehouses and aircraft. In addition to air strikes, Israeli troops have expanded their presence in a buffer zone near the occupied Golan Heights, violating a long-standing ceasefire agreement. The situation follows a rapid regime change in Syria, with the new government yet to respond to the attacks.
