🔥 Tensions are heating up in the Middle East as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a chat with US President-elect Donald Trump about the unfolding situation in Syria and other key regional hotspots.
In their conversation, Netanyahu claimed that Israel's recent operations in Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, and Syria have put a damper on Iran's influence over the past year. He emphasized that while Israel isn't looking for a direct showdown with Syria, they're keeping a close eye on the \"evolving reality on the ground.\"
🚀 Over the past few days, Israeli forces have been on the move, launching intense airstrikes across Syria following the recent collapse of the Assad government on December 8. \"Within a few days, we destroyed capabilities that the Assad regime had built over decades,\" Netanyahu said, highlighting Israel's swift military actions.
He stressed that these strikes are all about preventing weapons from being used against Israel or falling into the hands of Hezbollah. Sounds like a high-stakes game of chess 🕹️, where every move counts!
On Sunday night, Israeli warplanes were buzzing over Syrian skies, targeting former military arsenals. Reports from a war monitor say the latest raids hit missile bases in Battalion 107 near Zama and weapons warehouses in rural Tartus. Earlier, an Israeli jet reportedly struck radar installations at the Deir al-Zour Military Airport in eastern Syria.
💥 The action didn't stop there. Israeli aircraft also targeted former munitions depots dug into mountains in rural Damascus, causing a series of powerful explosions. Luckily, there were no reports of casualties.
As the region watches closely, all eyes are on how these developments will shape the future of Middle East dynamics. Stay tuned for more updates!
