Israeli airstrikes in Syria exceed 310 following Assad's fall, IDF confirms operations in buffer zone

Israeli warplanes have conducted over 310 airstrikes in Syria since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad's regime on Sunday. The strikes targeted military sites in Aleppo, Damascus, and Hama, causing significant damage to Syrian military assets. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed operations beyond the demilitarized buffer zone near the Golan Heights. They stated the strikes aim to prevent weapons from reaching extremists in the post-Assad era. International reactions include condemnation from Turkey, which criticized Israel's military actions. The strikes follow the capture of Damascus by Syrian rebel fighters, marking the end of Assad's rule after more than 50 years.
