Israeli airstrikes on Syria killed nine civilians and destroyed major military sites, including Hama and T4 airbases. At the same time, Israeli ground forces pushed deeper into southern Syria than ever before, sparking clashes with Syrian troops in Daraa. The escalation comes amid Israel’s continued campaign against military sites linked to Syria’s former regime. Damascus condemned the attacks as a “blatant violation” of its sovereignty. Since Assad’s ousting in December, Israel has ramped up operations, aiming to dismantle Syria’s defense infrastructure.
