Early Saturday, Israeli airstrikes hit military sites in Damascus and its suburbs, less than a week after a coalition of rebels seized the Syrian capital. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based organization with extensive sources inside Syria, reported the strikes.
Since the ousting of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his subsequent flight last Sunday, Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes on military sites in Syria, according to the SOHR.
The SOHR stated that the Israeli airstrikes destroyed a scientific research institute and other military positions in Barzeh, located on the northeastern outskirts of Damascus. Additionally, an airbase near the city was hit.
Other targets included ballistic missile warehouses and rocket launchers in the Qalamoun region, near Damascus, tunnels beneath the mountains used for strategic military purposes.
The Observatory noted that these strikes aim to cripple the remnants of the former regime's military infrastructure, preventing the formation of a new Syrian army.
