Israel Destroys 86% of Syrian Air Defenses, Brazil Condemns, US Supports
Dec 13, 2024, 01:00 AM
Following the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria, Israel has launched a series of airstrikes, effectively destroying 86% of the Syrian army's air defense systems from December 8 to 10. This has enabled Israel to achieve air superiority in Syrian airspace, opening a direct route for potential military operations against Iran. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have also moved into a demilitarized zone in Syria, which has drawn international condemnation. Brazil's Foreign Ministry condemned Israel's occupation of this zone, urging Israel to respect international law and Syrian sovereignty. The United States, through National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, has defended Israel's actions, stating that Israel has the right to protect itself from security risks. The Syrian military's capacity has been significantly diminished, with Israel reporting the destruction of weapons production sites, chemical weapons facilities, and other military assets. The fall of Assad has created a power vacuum, potentially allowing terrorist groups to grow and raising concerns about the stability of the region.
