Israeli strikes in Syria target weaponry it fears could be acquired by hostile forces

Amid the chaos, the Israeli Air Force has carried out numerous strikes in Syria today, taking out weaponry Israel fears could fall into the hands of hostile forces.

According to reports in Syria, strikes earlier today targeted ammunition and weapons depots at the Khalkhalah airbase in Suwayda, several sites in the Daraa Governorate, and the Mezzeh airbase in Damascus.

Additional strikes were reported Sunday afternoon at the Mezzeh airbase, a major security complex in the Kafr Sousa suburb of the capital, a branch of the Scientific Studies and Research Center in Damascus, and a central square in the capital that includes intelligence and customs headquarters.

Following the fall of the Assad regime, the IDF has said that it is tracking advanced weapons in Syria and working to prevent them from reaching Hezbollah or any other hostile elements that could threaten Israel.
