Israel has sustained its series of airstrikes on Syrian territory, particularly concentrating on the country’s military infrastructure.

This ongoing campaign has intensified since the fall of the Assad regime, with Israel targeting key military sites, including weapons depots, air defense systems, and military installations.

The strikes have caused significant destruction across Syria, leaving much of its military capacity severely crippled.

While the official reasons for these strikes are often linked to security concerns regarding Hezbollah and Iranian military presence in Syria, the continued bombardment has led to extensive damage to the nation’s defense structures, further destabilizing the region and complicating Syria’s efforts to rebuild its military forces.
