The Israeli military hit weapons depots and air defenses, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Israel has said it aims to keep military equipment out of the hands of extremists after rebels seized power a week ago.

Israel destroyed Syrian military aircraft, warships, and weapons facilities to stop rebel groups from using them after the fall of the Assad regime.

Israel has once again attacked military targets in Syria. Sounds of explosions were heard in the provinces of Latakia and Tartus, among others, where the Russians have military bases. One of the explosions near Tartus was so powerful that it registered as a magnitude three earthquake on seismic sensors in the area.
