In a significant military operation, Israel has reportedly destroyed Syria's remaining chemical weapons, missiles, air-defense systems, and air force assets, including Iranian military positions. The assault resulted in the neutralization of Syria's entire air defenses, military research facilities, air bases, and fighter jets, as well as ammunition storage sites. Reports indicate that Israel targeted all former Assad regime MiG-29 squadrons at airports, along with various radars and weapons depots. This operation has led to substantial losses for Iran, with estimates suggesting that tens of billions of dollars in military investments were rendered ineffective in less than a day. Hebrew-language media confirm that Israel is actively targeting every potential military asset in Syria, including tanks and intelligence centers.
