Israel has launched over 350 air and naval strikes on Syrian military assets, exploiting the disarray following the Assad regime’s fall. The IDF claims to have destroyed 70-80% of Syria’s strategic military capabilities, including aircraft, radar, and naval ships. Ground forces have moved into a demilitarized zone in Syria, aiming to create a “sterile defense zone.” The operation is described as Israel’s largest against Syria, with some targets identified decades ago. Control of strategic positions like Mt. Hermon enhances Israel’s security posture.
