Israeli Air Force Launches Dozens of Airstrikes on Syrian Military Sites, Including Near Russian Naval Base in Tartus
Dec 15, 2024, 10:41 PM
The Israeli Air Force conducted extensive airstrikes across multiple Syrian provinces overnight, targeting military sites, weapons depots, and ammunition storage facilities. Key locations hit include Damascus, Sweida, Masyaf, Latakia, Tartus, Homs, and Hama. Reports indicate that the strikes caused significant secondary explosions, particularly at a former Syrian Arab Army base near Tartus, where munitions detonated. The Israeli military operations appear to be aimed at preventing weapons from falling into the hands of jihadist groups, with the IDF achieving air supremacy over Syria by destroying a significant portion of its air defense systems. The coastal city of Tartus, home to a Russian naval base, was among the targets, with dozens of airstrikes reported.
