DAMASCUS (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Israeli warplanes launched overnight dozens of raids targeting about 100 sites in Syria, as Israeli forces occupied several areas in the “buffer zone.”
The Hebrew Channel Kan reported that the Israeli army attacked military sites overlooking the Golan Heights last night, claiming they were weapons depots for groups loyal to Iran in Deir Ezzor in eastern Syria.
The Israeli Broadcasting Authority said that Israel bombed the Scientific Research Center in the security square in Damascus, “where chemical weapons and ballistic missile programs are managed,” adding that Israeli airstrikes targeted the Mezzeh neighborhood in the Syrian capital.
According to the same source, Israel bombed 100 targets in Syria on Sunday, most of which were weapons depots.
For his part, the Minister of the Israeli army, Yisrael Katz, said that he directed his army “to continue destroying strategic weapons throughout Syria, and to establish a safe zone on the Syrian side free of weapons and military infrastructure.”
The Israeli army seized additional points in the buffer zone with Syria last night, as its spokesman published photos of Israeli forces in the Mount Hermon area in the Syrian side.
On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the collapse of the Syrian-Israeli Disengagement Agreement (1974), and the Israeli army occupied the Mount Hermon border area and the buffer zone with Syria.
The Israeli army launched on Sunday a raid that targeted Damascus Airport, hours after the Syrian opposition announced its entry into the Syrian capital.
