Heavy Israeli air assaults reported on military installations in the coastal Tartus area of Syria

Significant Israeli air assaults were reported in the Tartus region of Syria's coast during the overnight hours between Sunday and Monday, purportedly aimed at military facilities, marking the latest in a series of attacks following the downfall of Bashar al-Assad's regime last week by rebel forces.

Local media sources and various monitoring organizations reported the strikes, with some video evidence circulated on social platforms displaying explosions, likely resulting from these military actions.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, monitoring the war, indicated on early Monday that Israel Defense Forces aircraft had engaged a number of locations, encompassing air defense systems and ground-to-ground missile storages, characterizing the operation as “the most intense strikes in Syria’s coastal region since hostilities began in 2012.” The Israeli military refrained from providing immediate commentary, and the report from SOHR could not be authenticated independently.

The strikes reported ensued after a significant operation initiated by Israel following the collapse of the Assad regime on December 8, aimed at dismantling the Syrian military’s strategic capabilities to thwart their acquisition by hostile factions. Targeted locations have included chemical weapon sites, missile installations, air defense units, as well as air force and naval assets.
