A series of large blasts rocked a key base located near the city of Jableh on the Syrian coast early on July 12, with Syrian media reporting Israeli strikes.
The 107th Brigade base, which houses depots of the former Syrian Navy with anti-ship missiles and similar advanced equipment, has been targeted more than once by Israel since the fall of the regime of former President Bashar al-Assad last year.
The latest suspected strikes came following reports of plans by Syria’s new military to deploy one of its units at the base. There were also reports of Turkish officers visiting the base just a few days earlier.
Right after the fall of the Assad regime on December 8, Israel occupied the buffer zone adjacent to the Golan Heights in southern Syria and launched hundreds of strikes targeted nearly all of the country’s military capabilities. The Syrian Navy was wiped out.
In recent months, Syria’s Islamist-led Interim Government initiated talks with Israel with the goals of reaching some sort of an understanding that could lead to permanent peace. It was even reported that Interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa had agreed to give the country’s claim to the Golan Heights, or at least two thirds of the region.
Despite these Syrian efforts, Israel is yet to halt its strikes on the country. This is not surprising however, as Israel had reportedly set a series of red lines for the Syrian government, including allowing the establishment of Turkish military bases.
Overall, Syria’s new rulers appear to be in the process of understanding that making a concession after another does not necessarily lead to peace.

testing syria,’s patience lol! there is no syria since the west installed a israeli stooge in the country.
syria no longer exists, it is just a terrorist hole that i hope will be dissolved, bombed with nuclear weapons, or burned by israel or lebanese christian militias.
the cia/mossad stooge is losing support. the turks smell an impending power vacuum. trump is going down the toilet with the zionists
a little late now and the turks are mostly responsible they supported the head choppers from the start, what i don’t understand is why? the turks and syrians got on ok before that nutter erdogan decided to attack syria in 2012.
i want gaddafi and the shah to return to the power that was treacherously stolen from them by democratic pedophiles.
gaddafi would probably invade lebanon and free his brother. that would finally give netanyahu someone he didn’t find in jolani, because jolani is basically a hairy prostitute who sucks putin’s dick.
zsófia farkas is his mother, she is of croatian, hungarian and bosnian origin. that’s why he’s not a prostitute like jolana, whose mother got five dollars from every idf soldier.
what will you traitorous russians do if dump puts the shah in charge of iran?
why do you blame russians asshole? and there will be no shah back in iran.
pedophilic hts, who sold yazid girls and now sells the alavitian girls deserves to lose the coast.
