[Regnum] Dozens of people, including civilians and soldiers, were injured as a result of massive attacks by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on airfields in Syria. This was reported on April 2 by the Foreign Ministry, which is controlled by the transitional government of Syria.
According to the agency, the Israeli Air Force bombed five areas of the country for half an hour, practically destroying a military airfield in the Hama province.
"Israeli forces carried out airstrikes on five areas of the country over a period of 30 minutes, which resulted in the almost complete destruction of the Hama military airfield and the injury of dozens of civilians and soldiers," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
It is noted that Israeli fighters carried out more than 20 strikes on airfields in the provinces of Hama and Homs. The main strike was on the former airbase near the city of Hama, 220 km from Damascus. The T4 airfield near Palmyra and a military facility in the Masaken Berzi area of ​​Damascus were also attacked.
As reported by Regnum news agency, on March 22, the IDF struck the Syrian military bases of Tadmur and T4.
In February, the IDF Spokesperson's Office confirmed the attack on the border crossings between Syria and Lebanon. The IDF explained its actions by the need to prevent the smuggling of weapons to the Lebanese Shiite organization Hezbollah. The Israeli military warned that it intends to prevent any threat to its state and to suppress all attempts by Hezbollah to restore its strength.
