Israel strikes Syrian military targets

The Israeli army said Tuesday that it had again struck two military bases in central Syria.

“A short while ago, the IDF struck military capabilities that remained at the Syrian military bases of Tadmur and T4,” the Israeli military said, referring to bases in Palmyra and another 50 kilometers (30 miles) west of the city.

“The IDF will continue to act in order to remove any threat posed to the citizens of the State of Israel,” it added.

Israel said Friday it struck the same bases after a war monitor first reported the raids.

On Monday, during a visit to Jerusalem, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warned that Israeli strikes on Syria and Lebanon were threatening to worsen the situation.
