After two days of extensive strikes, the IDF announced this evening (Tuesday) that the Air Force has completed a series of large-scale operations in Syria as part of Operation “Arrow of Bashan,” which began late Saturday night. According to IDF sources, hundreds of strategic targets were struck across the war-torn country. Details of the operation were kept under operational secrecy until now. <\/p>\n

80% Destruction <\/strong>
\nAs part of “Arrow of Bashan,” 350 Air Force fighter jets attacked and destroyed 320 strategic targets in Syria, including aircraft, coastal defense missiles, underground facilities, ships, and additional capabilities. Dozens of strikes targeted Syrian aircraft, weapons manufacturing facilities, and weapons depots. Various types of missiles, radars, tanks, and surface-to-air missile batteries were also destroyed. <\/p>\n

The Navy also participated in the operation, destroying advanced Syrian naval vessels at two locations: Latakia and Minet al-Bayda. The IDF noted that the targets had been under long-term intelligence surveillance and included dozens of sea-to-sea missiles with ranges of 80-100 kilometers. <\/p>\n

Air Force strikes led to the destruction of approximately 80% of Syria\u2019s strategic capabilities, as reported by N12. <\/p>\n

“I Authorized the Air Force to Bomb Strategic Military Capabilities”<\/strong>
\nPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated this evening that Israel has no intention of interfering in Syria’s internal affairs, but the government will do everything necessary to ensure the nation’s security. <\/p>\n

“As part of this, I authorized the Air Force to bomb the strategic military capabilities left behind by the Syrian army to prevent them from falling into the hands of jihadists,” said Netanyahu. <\/p>\n

He added: “We seek relations with the new regime in Syria. However, if this regime allows Iran to re-establish itself in Syria, transfers Iranian weapons or any other arms to Hezbollah, or attacks us, we will respond with force and impose a heavy price. What happened to the previous regime will happen to this one as well.” <\/p>\n
