Israel launched more than 100 airstrikes on a series of targets in Syria

" Israeli warplanes carried out more than 100 airstrikes in Syria, including an airstrike on the Barzah scientific research center," said Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Mr. Rami Abdel Rahman added that Israel also carried out many airstrikes to destroy the military capabilities of the former government in Syria.

Israel carried out several airstrikes on Syria.

On December 9, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out airstrikes targeting chemical weapons storage sites and long-range missile facilities in Syria. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar stressed that this action was necessary to prevent dangerous weapons from falling into the hands of terrorist and Islamic extremist groups.

“ Our only concern is the safety of Israel and its people,” Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said.

However, the Israeli Foreign Ministry did not specify the time and duration of the attacks.

Israel also attacked Mezzeh military airport, located southwest of Damascus, on December 8. The facility is a frequent target of Israeli air operations.

Israel has carried out hundreds of air strikes in Syria in recent years, targeting what it says are military sites linked to the militant group Hezbollah. Defense Minister Israel Katz said the army had been ordered to establish full control of a buffer zone along the Syrian border in the Golan Heights.

Mr. Katz stressed that military action along the Syrian border would block arms smuggling routes from Iran into Lebanon as well as the movement of weapons across the border by paramilitary groups.

On December 8, Syrian opposition forces quickly took control of Damascus. Meanwhile, the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed that after negotiations with the opposition, former President Bashar al-Assad agreed to step down and live as a political refugee in Moscow.
