The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, said that Israel targeted “Syrian airports and their warehouses, aircraft squadrons, radars, military signal stations, and many weapons and ammunition depots in various locations in most Syrian provinces.”
The raids also targeted Syrian air defense systems and rendered them unusable, according to the Observatory, and Israel’s ongoing attacks since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government have “destroyed the most important military sites in Syria.”
It recorded “around 310” strikes since Assad was ousted on Sunday morning.
Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes on areas formerly controlled by the former regime through its over a decade-long civil war, often claiming to target pro-Iran militias, such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah group, that supported the Syrian army.
The strikes have increased since October 7 of last year, when Palestinian Hamas launched an unprecedented, large-scale attack on Israel, which retaliated by invading Gaza. The conflict later spread into Lebanon before a ceasefire was announced late last month.
Israel rarely comments on strikes attributed to it in Syria.
