Israel Launches 352+ Airstrikes, Drops 1,800 Bombs on 500 Targets in Syria, Dismantles Defenses Post-Assad

Dec 13, 2024, 01:46 AM

The Israeli military has intensified its airstrikes in Syria following the fall of the Assad government, targeting key military assets. Reports indicate that Israel has conducted over 352 attacks across the country, focusing on Syrian air defense systems and military installations. Notably, Israel has dropped approximately 1,800 bombs on more than 500 targets, effectively dismantling Syria's previously formidable air defense capabilities. This escalation allows Israel greater freedom to operate in Syrian airspace, potentially using it as a base for future operations against Iran. Recent strikes have included attacks on Mount Qasioun and military sites near Damascus, with officials stating that the Syrian military has been completely destroyed. The situation reflects a significant shift in the regional balance of power as both Israel and Turkey seek to capitalize on the instability in Syria.
