Israel has attacked the Sule Airport and air defense radar systems in southern Syria. The Israeli strikes came after the launch of a ground operation into Lebanon. Given the close ties between Lebanon and Syria, it is possible that Israel carried out a 'preemptive' strike to secure its ground troops.
On the other hand, Israel had previously neutralized missile launchers and anti-aircraft batteries before beginning ground offensives in Gaza and Lebanon.
Israel, which continues to occupy the Golan Heights in Syria, is not known to be preparing for any military operation against Syria. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made various 'threats of war' against Syria since the attacks on Gaza began on October 8, 2023.
The Israeli side has not commented on statements regarding Syria being targeted by them.
According to information obtained from local sources, Israeli forces conducted airstrikes today on the Sule Airport in As-Suwayda province and radar systems located at the 79th Air Defense Battalion in Daraa province.
It is not yet known whether there were any deaths or injuries in the attack. The areas targeted are home to army forces loyal to Assad and Hezbollah elements.
Yesterday, Israel carried out attacks on at least 4 different points near the Syrian capital, Damascus.
No statement has been made by Israel or Syria regarding the attacks.
Since the civil war began in 2011, Israel has periodically carried out attacks in Syria on Iranian-backed groups and military sites belonging to the Syrian army.
