Israeli strikes hit Syria
Manchester Evening News|December 11, 2024
ISRAEL yesterday carried out a wave of heavy air strikes across Syria as its troops advanced deeper into the country, drawing to within 15 miles of the capital city, a Syrian opposition war monitor has said.

Associated Press reporters in Damascus heard heavy air strikes overnight on Monday and into yesterday on the city, in the wake of the fall of President Bashar Assad's regime last weekend.

Israel's defence minister, Israel Katz, said yesterday that Israel's military destroyed Syria's naval fleet overnight and intends to establish a demilitarised zone "in southern Syria" to prevent attacks on Israel.
