DAMASCUS – Israeli warplanes conducted two airstrikes on Thursday evening targeting the 75th Brigade near the town of al-Kiswah, south of Damascus, Syrian state television reported.
No immediate details were provided regarding casualties or the extent of damage from the strikes.
The attack followed a significant wave of Israeli airstrikes on Wednesday, which targeted five locations across Syria, including Damascus, Hama, and Homs. The strikes on Hama resulted in the near-total destruction of the military airport and left at least nine people dead, including four Ministry of Defense personnel, according to local officials and state media.
On the ground, Israeli troops carried out a raid overnight in the area of Tasil in Daraa province. According to a statement from the Israeli military, the operation aimed to seize weapons and destroy militant infrastructure, killing several gunmen.
Syrian military authorities condemned the airstrikes on Wednesday, labeling them “unprovoked aggression” and accusing Israel of seeking to destabilize the country and obstruct reconstruction efforts.
