Israel resumed strikes on Syria on February 8, hitting key sites of the now dissolved Syrian Arab Army and causing casualties.
The first wave of strikes hit the outskirts of the town of Deir Ali, more than 20 kilometers to the south of the capital, Damascus. According to Daraa 24, a news blog based in southern Syria, the strikes targeted a small weapons depot and a vehicle.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that a man was killed and another was wounded as a result of the strikes.
Later, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) acknowledged the strike, saying in a statement that a weapons depot of the Palestinian Hamas Movement was targeted. According to the military, the weapons stored at the site were going to be used in attacks on Israeli troops.
“The Palestinian terror organizations, chief among them Hamas, exploit Syria to establish terror activity under Iranian guidance,” the IDF said, adding that it will operate against Hamas anywhere it tries to establish itself.
Another wave of strikes hit weapons depots at the abandoned 15th Brigade base close to the town of Inkhel in the northern Daraa countryside later in the day, according to Daraa 24, which didn’t report any casualties. There was no comment from the IDF.
Furthermore, Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen TV reported blasts near the town of al-Draij, some nine kilometers to the northwest of Damascus, as well as in the outskirts of the coastal city of Tartus. A large military training base is located in al-Daraij and multiple air defense sites are situated close to Tartus. However, it is still unclear if the blasts were caused by Israeli strikes.
It’s worth noting that in addition to these strikes, a force of the IDF advanced from the buffer zone adjacent to the occupied Golan Heights in the direction of the town of Khirbat Saysun in the western countryside of Daraa. The force didn’t face any resistance.
Following the fall of the Assad regime last December, Israel occupied the buffer zone in the countryside of al-Qunitra. It also launched hundreds of strikes against military sites and equipment across Syria, destroying much of the country’s military capabilities.
The Syrian transitional government condemned Israel’s actions. However, it has not responded yet, likely due to the fraile situation of the country. The latest strikes indicate that Israel is planning to take advantage of this. After using Lebanon’s Hezbollah as an excuse to attack the former regime for more than decade, Israel will apparently use Hamas for now on.
