Israel has carried out over 350 airstrikes on military sites of the former government of Bashir al-Assad since his ousting on December 8, according to the Observatory.

On Tuesday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that two Syrian navy facilities, dozens of sea-to-sea missiles, anti-aircraft batteries, airfields, dozens of weapons production sites across several provinces, and an entire arsenal of missiles, drones, fighter jets, tanks, and helicopters were destroyed in the air raids.
"Israeli warplanes continue to destroy what remains of Syria’s military arsenal," the Observatory said.
As Assad’s regime fell, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a "historic day for the Middle East."
"The collapse of the Assad regime, the tyranny in Damascus, offers great opportunity but is also fraught with significant dangers," Netanyahu said on X.
