Israeli air strikes hit Syria’s Damascus, Hama
Israeli fighter jets struck the Syrian cities of Damascus and Hama late Wednesday, the Syrian news agency SANA reported.
“An Israeli occupation air strike targeted the vicinity of the building of the scientific research center in the Barzeh residential district of Damascus,” it said.
In a separate attack, air strikes hit the vicinity of Hama city in central Syria.
No casualties or property damage have been reported.
After the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in December, Israel expanded its occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights by seizing the demilitarized buffer zone, a move that violated a 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria.
Israel also took advantage of the regime’s fall to launch hundreds of strikes that targeted military sites and assets across Syria, including fighter jets, missile systems and air defence installations, according to reports.
