Iran (IMNA) - This latest aggression is part of Israel's ongoing campaign to dismantle Syrian military capabilities, particularly following the recent ousting of President Bashar al-Assad on December 8. The strikes reportedly hit multiple sites across western Syria, including military centers in Homs and Hama.
The Israeli military's actions coincide with a ground advance by mechanized forces into Syrian territory, particularly in the Quneitra province, where Israeli troops are now positioned just 15 kilometers from the highway linking Lebanon to Syria. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed that these strikes represent one of the most powerful attacks in the region in over a decade, with sources indicating that they targeted air defense units and missile storage facilities.
Israeli officials have justified these operations as necessary for national security, claiming they aim to prevent advanced weaponry from falling into the hands of hostile groups. The recent escalation has seen Israel conduct over 350 airstrikes in just 48 hours, focusing on weapons production sites and military installations throughout Syria.
