Since the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad last December, Israel has performed hundreds of air strikes in Syria, targeting military sites to avoid hostile takeovers of weaponry. Reports indicate air strikes near Tartous, where Israel targeted storage sites for weapons of the former regime. In actions that violate international agreements, Israel has also deployed forces in demilitarised regions while intending to demilitarize areas further. Syrian officials condemned these incursions during national dialogue discussions and called for international pressure on Israel to halt its aggressive military operations.
An Israeli army statement on Monday indicated that its forces struck a military site where weapons from the previous Syrian regime were stored.
In the wake of the offensive that toppled al-Assad last December, Israel has conducted hundreds of air strikes on Syrian military assets.
Israel has moved forces into a U.N.-monitored demilitarised zone within Syria after al-Assad's removal, violating the 1974 disengagement agreement.
Participants at Syria's national dialogue conference rejected Netanyahu's statements, urging the international community to pressure Israel to cease its aggressive actions.
