The Israeli army announces strikes targets belongs to the Syrian army in the city of Palmyra and the T-4 military air base
The Israeli army announced, on Friday evening, that it had targeted strategic military capabilities in Syrian army bases in the city of Palmyra and the T-4 military air base in central Syria.
“A short time ago, the IDF carried out strikes targeting strategic military capabilities that were still present in Syrian army bases in Palmyra and the T-4 base,” the Israeli army said in a statement, without providing further details.
In another development, Israeli airstrikes targeted Palmyra military airport in central Syria on Friday night.
These new raids come days after Israeli airstrikes targeted military headquarters near the central city of Homs, and another that killed three people, according to an official tally, near the southern city of Daraa.
They are part of a series of similar raids targeting various locations across the country.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday considered the raids on Daraa an aggressive act targeting Syria’s stability.
Following the overthrow of Assad by opposition factions in December, Israel launched hundreds of airstrikes on military installations, naval bases, and air bases across Syria, claiming that their goal was to prevent the new government from seizing the former army’s arsenal.
The Israeli army also penetrated the demilitarized buffer zone in the Golan Heights, located on the outskirts of the part of the Syrian plateau it occupies.
In February, Netanyahu called for a complete demilitarization of southern Syria, warning that his government wouldn’t accept the presence of security forces affiliated with the new Syrian authorities near its border.
