"Israel has attacked Syria hundreds of times since the regime of President Bashar al-Assad fell on December 8 and also conducted a land grab in the chaotic early hours after al-Assad fled to Moscow. Under the al-Assad regime, Israel waged a secretive campaign of aerial bombardment against Syria's military infrastructure, but attacks have intensified since the war on Gaza began nearly two years ago and even more so since the fall of al-Assad."
"In the first days after the fall of the al-Assad regime, Israel launched a devastating series of attacks that destroyed much of Syria's military infrastructure in an attempt to create a sterile zone in southern Syria. Israel and Syria have held direct talks in recent months, and while Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has ruled out normalisation, the talks are aimed at halting Israel's aggressive actions towards Syria and reaching some kind of security deal."
Israeli warplanes struck Syrian military sites near Homs and Latakia early Tuesday, prompting Syrian officials to call the strikes a blatant violation of sovereignty. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported explosions at a Homs air force base and an attack on a Latakia barracks, with no immediate casualty reports. Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes against Syrian targets since the fall of Bashar al-Assad on December 8, intensifying operations since the Gaza war began nearly two years ago. Earlier bombardments destroyed much of Syria's military infrastructure and aimed to create a sterile southern zone. Recent direct talks between Israel and Syria aim to curb attacks and negotiate security arrangements, though normalisation has been ruled out by Syrian leadership.
