Israel Destroys Over 90% of Syria's Air Defenses, Captures Buffer Zone, Eyes Iran
Dec 12, 2024, 06:59 PM
Following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have launched extensive airstrikes, severely damaging Syria's military infrastructure. The IDF has destroyed over 90% of Syria's strategic surface-to-air missile systems, along with numerous fighter jets, helicopters, and missile storage facilities. This military operation has also included the capture of a buffer zone near the Golan Heights to neutralize potential threats and prevent advanced weaponry from falling into the wrong hands. In the wake of these developments, Israeli military officials believe that the destruction of Syrian air defenses has opened a direct and threat-free air corridor to Iran, potentially facilitating future strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.
