ROME (ITALPRESS) – There would be 310 raids conducted by the Israeli Air Force from last Sunday to date in Syria to destroy Syrian army depots. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claims to have documented 310 raids in Syria targeting various governorates. The Israeli raids mainly target Syrian army assets. Army sites exposed by the raids are currently empty. Everything related to the Syrian army is being destroyed.
Media linked to the Lebanese Hezbollah group say Israeli tanks have reportedly crossed the Syrian buffer zone border.
Hezbollah-affiliated TV news outlet “Al-Mayadeen” reports that Israeli tanks have advanced beyond the borders of the Golan Heights buffer zone in Syria, where it moved troops earlier this week. According to the unverified Lebanese news report, the tanks passed the abandoned buffer zone town of Qunaitra before stopping near Qatana, a town in southern Syria just over 21 kilometers from the capital Damascus. The report also claimed that Israeli troops also entered several villages on the outskirts of Damascus. Despite these claims, the IDF has indicated that it plans to operate only on the ground within the buffer zone, and no further.
Israeli army radio reported that the IDF still operates only in the buffer zone, which is about 30 km from Damascus. The Israeli army took advantage of the withdrawal of the forces of the regime of deposed President Bashar al-Assad from their military positions to penetrate strategic areas of Quneitra Governorate in southern Syria. Maps of the island showed that the Israeli army controlled the summit of Mount Hermon and a number of villages and towns surrounding it within the demilitarized zone, up to 18 kilometers deep in Syrian territory. The demilitarized zone is administered according to the 1974 disengagement agreement between Syria and Israel, which makes incursions into it a violation of that agreement, but Israel justifies its movements with the need for security.
