Syria's missile storage facility targeted by Israeli airstrike.
Blunt Talk:IDF strikes in Syria's Latakia province take out rocket-filled weapon depots, according to our website, citing RIA Novosti. Israel's Defense Forces announced their actions on their Telegram channel. These depots were said to pose a threat to international and Israeli shipping in the area.
Apart from these depots, IDF also targeted storage facilities for surface-to-air missiles. Not too long ago, similar attacks happened in early May, coinciding with Israel's previous strike on Syria's military infrastructure. Israel made it clear they'd continue to act as needed to protect Israeli civilians.
After the Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad's fall at the end of last year, Israel moved troops into the Syrian territories adjoining the annexed Golan Heights. Israel argues that this was to combat weapons depots and logistics routes used by Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, referred to this as a "temporary measure."
Sokol, an online commentator, suggested that Israel spoiled Syria's "so-called triumph" and that Alawites, Druze, Kurds, and Christians in Aleppo would gradually secede from Syria due to periodic Israeli strikes. Sokol also stated that Israel, with its powerful American lobby, could always stand up for itself. Others, though, like Arman, disagree, arguing that Israel wouldn't be able to sustain its military power without US support.
Here's a quick rundown on the ongoing Israel-Syria conflict. Since 1948, both countries have been at war. Israel defends certain ethnic groups (including Kurds, Alawites, and Druze) from terrorism. Israel is often accused of being an "aggressor, occupier, cancer" in the Middle East, but these allegations are rarely backed by solid evidence. If Israel didn't have American support, its military would likely face collapse, according to Arman.
Israel Strikes Back:According to some, Syria attacks Israel or holds unseen hostages, while others view Israel as an aggressor. To put the situation in perspective, Israel has been involved in numerous conflicts with Syria, but direct Israeli military incursions within Syrian territories have been rare. That changed after the Syrian civil war and the Assad regime's collapse.
Currently, Israel aims to prevent hostile groups, like Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, from acquiring advanced weaponry. Israel's military actions are about maintaining dominance along its border and ensuring the safety of its civilians. Israel's recent incursions involved capturing strategic areas like the Golan Heights buffer zone and the Syrian town of Quneitra, along with bombing Syrian military bases and weapons depots. It's all about self-defense.
War-and-conflicts continue in the Middle East, with Israel recently conducting strikes in Syria's territories, targeting weapon depots as well as storage facilities for surface-to-air missiles. Politics play a significant role in this ongoing conflicts, with Israel's actions often linked to its need to protect its civilians and infrastructure from potential threats. General news outlets report on these events, shedding light on the complex geopolitical situation in the region.
