The Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday night confirmed launching a series of Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
s in Syria, saying it struck "remaining military capabilities" at the Hama military airport and T-4 airbase.
The strikes targeted the runways, fuel depots and radars at the airbases, according to military sources.
Israeli Air Force aircraft also struck "military infrastructure" in the Damascus area, the IDF said.
According to Syrian media, the Barzeh scientific research center just outside Damascus — which has been linked to the former Syrian regime’s chemical weapons
...have not been used since WWI except for in Iraq, by the late, unlamented Saddam Hussein and in Syria, but really, honest, not by the Syrian government. And in Germany in WWII, but that was against civilians. Lots of them, just one of many reasons Hitler's also late and unlamented...
program — was hit.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitor of unclear funding, later reported that "four people were killed and others maimed, including Syrian defense ministry personnel, in the strikes on Hama military airport."
It said those raids, which targeted "remaining planes, runways and towers, put the airport completely out of service."
The Syrian foreign ministry later denounced the Israeli strikes. "In a blatant violation of international law and Syrian illusory sovereignty, Israeli forces launched airstrikes on five locations across the country," it said in a statement on Telegram.
"This unjustified escalation is a deliberate attempt to destabilize Syria and exacerbate the suffering of its people."
The ministry said the strikes resulted in the "near-total destruction" of a military airport in central Syrian province Hama, injuring dozens of civilians and soldiers.
It also said the strikes came as the country is trying to rebuild after 14 years of war, calling it a strategy to "normalize violence within the country."
Authorities in south Syria’s Daraa on Telegram late Wednesday said that several Israeli military vehicles entered an area in the province’s west, reporting that "three (Israeli) artillery shells" targeted the area.
ENTRY OF DRUZE WORKERS CANCELLED AT LAST MINUTE
Also Wednesday, Kan reported that the planned entry of Syrian Druze workers into Israel was cancelled in a last-minute decision by Israel’s political echelon.
No reason has been reported as to why the decision was made.
Last month, Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that Israel would allow Syrian Druze to enter the country for work in the wake of Assad’s fall.
Preparations were made to carry out the initiative, with plans drawn up by Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian, who heads the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, and who is Druze himself.
Syrian local government says 9 killed in Israeli bombardment overnight
[IsraelTimes] The provincial government in southern Syria’s Daraa says nine civilians were killed and several were injured in Israeli bombardment following an “Israeli incursion.”
| In theory they could be civilians instead of hard boys in mufti — there’s no way of knowing. |
It says in a statement posted to Telegram that the shelling near the Syrian city of Nawa came after “an Israeli incursion” in the area. It says that this was the deepest into Syria that Israeli forces have advanced thus far.
Nawa is located some 9 kilometers from Tasil, where the IDF says Israeli troops operated overnight.
The military said a short while ago that while in the southern Syrian town, located beyond the demilitarized buffer zone along the border, troops came under fire from several gunmen, and retaliated with both ground and aerial strikes.
IDF says several gunmen ‘eliminated’ after firing on troops in southern Syria overnight
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says several gunmen opened fire on Israeli troops operating in the southern Syrian town of Tasil overnight, as they were working to “confiscate weapons and destroy terror infrastructure.”
The military says the troops, of the 474th Golan Regional Brigade, returned fire and “eliminated” several gunmen “on the ground and from the air.”
No soldiers were injured in the exchange, and the operation in the area was completed, the IDF adds.
Tasil is located some 13 kilometers from Israel’s border, outside of a demilitarized buffer zone along the Israel-Syrian border which the Israeli military moved into last December following the fall of the Assad regime.
It marks only the second incident in which IDF troops operating in southern Syria have come under fire since deploying to the buffer zone.
