IDF Targets 100 Sites in Syria to Prevent Weapons Seizure by Rebels
Dec 8, 2024, 02:24 PM
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have conducted a series of airstrikes in Syria, targeting military sites, including a chemical weapons cache and the Syrian Scientific Research Centre (SSRC) in Damascus, where Assad's chemical weapon and ballistic missile programs were based. These strikes aim to prevent the Assad regime's strategic weapons from falling into the hands of Islamist rebels or other hostile elements following the regime's collapse. Channel 12 reports that the IDF's actions have been described as 'very intensive,' with reports indicating that dozens of Israeli Air Force (IAF) aircraft struck nearly 100 sites across Syria, marking the most intense IAF strikes since 1973. The targets included weapon production facilities, air defense systems, and Syrian fighter jets, focusing on destroying 'strategic weapons' at risk of being seized by anti-Assad forces, including Al-Qaeda/ISIS rebels.
