[Gateway] The Israeli Air Force (IAF) conducted widespread airstrikes across Syria on Sunday, targeting critical military sites and weaponry deemed a direct threat to Israel’s security.
| That’s the oddest thing — as if the Israelis already knew exactly where everything was, and needed just to each out their hand and destroy it all. Whose else’s stashes did they happen to locate long ago? |
Israel claimed that these strategic strikes aimed to neutralize the potential transfer of advanced weaponry into the hands of terrorist factions and hostile entities.
According to reports from The Times of Israel, the Israeli strikes hit ammunition and weapons depots at the Khalkhalah airbase in Suwayda, military positions in the Daraa Governorate, and the Mezzeh airbase in Damascus.
Later in the day, additional strikes targeted the Mezzeh airbase—a hub of Syria’s security infrastructure located in the Kafr Sousa suburb of Damascus—along with the Scientific Studies and Research Center, suspected of facilitating weapons development, and a central square in Damascus housing intelligence and customs offices. |
