The Israeli occupation launched airstrikes targeting the outskirts of the Syrian capital, Damascus, early on Sunday, following a series of attacks on areas in the countrysides of Homs, Hama, and Daraa, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.

Israeli media outlets reported that the Israeli Air Force destroyed missile warehouses and launchers near Qastal in the Qalamoun area of Damascus' countryside. 

Earlier on Saturday, Israeli warplanes targeted weapons depots in the village of Mahja in Daraa's countryside, in southern Syria. 

Despite destroying the majority of strategic Syrian military capabilities, the Israeli regime continues its unprovoked aerial campaign, aiming to completely dismantle Syria's air defense array and stockpiles of missiles.

The aerial assault coincided with a ground incursion, where mechanized Israeli occupation forces advanced and occupied the buffer zone east of the Golan Heights and expanded their advance into the countryside of Damascus. 

This comes after the Israeli military command had announced that it destroyed the vast majority of the Syrian air defense array, which includes highly-prized Pantsir and Buk batteries. According to the command, this has awarded the Israeli Air Force air superiority in Syrian air space, allowing it to carry out operations safely in the future. 

Moreover, the Israeli aggression also targeted the assets of the Syrian Navy, including anti-ship missiles and vessels. Syrian strategic weaponry, including fighter jets, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles was also destroyed. 

These unprovoked attacks aim to dismantle Syrian military capabilities, as the country goes through a regime change, following the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad on December 8.
