The Israeli occupation announced that it had attacked, during the past 48 hours, the majority of strategic weapons stockpiles in Syria, as part of what it called "Operation Arrow of Bashan."
In the details, the IOF said that two sites belonging to the Syrian Navy were attacked in the port of al-Bayda and the port of Latakia, where 15 naval vessels belonging to the Syrian Navy were docked, on Monday.
Among the targets that were targeted were dozens of sea-to-sea missiles with a range of between 80 and 190 km, each of which carries dozens of kilograms of explosives that threaten Israeli naval vessels, and 350 air strikes were launched targeting various types of surface-to-air missile batteries, Syrian Air Force airports, and dozens of different production site targets in the areas of Damascus, Homs, Tartus, Latakia, and Palmyra.
The IOF added that these waves of raids destroyed many combat means, including Scud missiles, cruise missiles, surface-to-sea missiles, surface-to-air missiles, surface-to-surface missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, fighter jets and attack helicopters, radars, tanks, aircraft hangars, and others.
It was also announced that the Northern Command in "Israel" targeted more than 130 targets on Syrian territory, including weapons depots, military buildings, missile launch pads, and firing positions.
The IOF estimated Tuesday evening, that between 70 and 80% of the Syrian army's military capabilities had been destroyed during the past 48 hours.
According to the Israeli newspaper Maariv, the IOF attacked about 400 strategic targets in Syria during the past two days, in one of the largest operations in "Israel's history."
Israeli tanks advance to Damascus countryside as strikes continue
Israeli media outlets reported that, in less than two days, nearly 300 raids targeted Syria, adding that the Israeli Air Force draws closer to destroying the entirety of the Syrian Air Force.
Overnight on Tuesday, the Israeli occupation continued to launch attacks against Syria, mainly targeting Syria's military capabilities.
The city of Salamiyah, in the eastern countryside of Hama, came under Israeli strikes, as reported by Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
Warplanes also targeted the Shayrat airbase in the Homs countryside. Additionally, Israeli strikes targeted military installations in the northern region of the Raqqa governorate. Our correspondent said that so far, 250 Israeli raids have targeted military installations in the country.
Unprovoked, the Israeli occupation continues destructing Syria's military capabilities and has also launched a blatant ground assault on Syrian territories.
The Israeli occupation took over the entirety of the Golan, including the Syrian side of the Mount Hermon summit. It also led an eastward advance, taking over the buffer zone in the same area.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reports that Israeli tanks have advanced past the town of Qunaitra and are now on the outskirts of the Damascus countryside.
Local sources told Al Mayadeen that Israeli tanks are now positioned 3 km away from the city of Qatna in the capital's countryside, nearly 20 km away from Damascus.
