Israel has reportedly destroyed most of Syria’s key weapons
In the past two days, Israel has conducted over 400 airstrikes, reportedly destroying 70-80% of Syria’s strategic military assets following the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad. Key targets included naval vessels, anti-aircraft systems, and missile stockpiles across various locations, including Damascus and Latakia.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) emphasized that these operations aimed to prevent these weapons from falling into the hands of extremist groups. Israel has also deployed troops into the Golan Heights buffer zone as part of this extensive military campaign
“Within the last 48 hours, the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] struck most of the strategic weapons stockpiles in Syria, preventing them from falling into the hands of terrorist elements … Manned aircraft flew hundreds of hours over Syrian airspace, conducting over 350 aerial strikes together with fighter jets,” the IDF said.
Furthermore, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s adviser Dmitri Gendelman told Sputnik on Tuesday that Israel’s presence in the Golan Heights and the buffer zone contributes to the country’s security and sovereignty.
“After the fall of the regime hostile to Israel in Syria, a new phase in the history of the Middle East is opening. Israel intends to continue to actively fight against Iran’s axis of evil and those who threaten our country. Israel’s presence in the Golan Heights and the buffer zone will ensure our security and sovereignty,” Gendelman said.
