Israeli airstrikes targeted Syrian army airbases that housed dozens of helicopters and jets in the latest escalation of tensions in the region. This marks the largest wave of strikes on airbases since the fall of the Assad regime over the weekend.
The airstrikes come as Israel seeks to prevent military equipment from falling into the hands of rebel factions in Syria. In addition to the airstrikes, Israel has also moved ground forces into the Golan Heights, the UN-monitored buffer zone between Syria and Israel.
The increased military activity in the region has raised concerns about a potential escalation of hostilities between Israel and Syria. The Israeli government has stated that it is taking necessary measures to protect its security interests, while the Syrian government has condemned the airstrikes as a violation of its sovereignty.
The situation in Syria remains fluid, with ongoing violence and conflict in many parts of the country. The international community will be closely monitoring the developments in the region to ensure that further escalation is avoided.
As tensions continue to rise, it is crucial for all parties involved to exercise restraint and engage in dialogue to prevent further violence and instability in the region.
