Israeli airstrikes have targeted multiple locations in Syria, including Damascus, Homs, Hama, and Tartus. The attacks, which are described as some of the most extensive in recent years, focused on sites associated with Iranian militias, weapons depots, and air defense systems. Notably, the Scientific Research Institute in Masyaf, believed to play a significant role in weapon production, was among the targets. Syrian state media reported that air defenses were activated in response to the aggression, and explosions were heard across central and Western Syria. Ambulances were seen heading to the affected areas, indicating potential casualties. The Israeli Air Force launched at least four waves of strikes, with dozens of fighter jets involved, marking the largest air attack in years.
