The IDF releases footage from its 48-hour bombing campaign against the former Assad regime’s military, destroying advanced weaponry Israel fears could fall into the hands of hostile elements, including Hezbollah.
The military says the Israeli Air Force and Israeli Navy carried out over 350 strikes during the operation, dubbed internally “Bashan Arrow.”
The IDF says it struck “most of the strategic weapons stockpiles in Syria.” The military estimates that it destroyed 70-80% of the ousted regime’s strategic weapons.
The waves of airstrikes carried out by IAF fighter jets and drones hit Syrian air defense systems, airbases, weapon depots and weapon production sites in Damascus, Homs, Tartus, Latakia and Palmyra, according to the military.
The IDF says the airstrikes destroyed many long-range projectiles, Scud missiles, cruise missiles, coast-to-sea missiles, air defense missiles, fighter jets, helicopters, radars, tanks, hangars and more.
The Israeli Navy’s strikes at the Minet el-Beida bay and Latakia port on the Syrian coast destroyed 15 Syrian naval vessels, the military adds.
