Israel Strikes Ammunition Depot in Syria’s Damascus
DAMASCUS, Syria (North Press) – Late Thursday, Israeli warplanes targeted an ammunition depot in western Damascus countryside, causing loud explosions that echoed throughout the region, local and regional media reported.
Persistent Strikes on Syrian Military Infrastructure
Since the ousting of the former Syrian regime, Israel has intensified efforts to dismantle what remains of Syria’s military infrastructure, particularly focusing on sites housing advanced weaponry and ammunition.
According to multiple sources, the Israeli airstrike targeted a military site in Tal al-Shahem, a strategic location in western Damascus countryside. The attack triggered a series of powerful explosions that reportedly continued for over an hour.
Weaponry and Ammunition Stockpile Destroyed
The site was allegedly used as a storage facility for ammunition and weaponry. The resulting destruction highlights the ongoing efforts by Israel to prevent the regrouping of forces that could threaten its security in the region.
Local residents reported hearing loud explosions, with some witnessing smoke and flames rising from the targeted area.
Israel’s Stated Objectives
Israel has consistently justified its military operations in Syria as a means to counter threats posed by Iran and its allies. The latest attack underscores the continued volatility in the region as external actors assert their influence in the post-conflict landscape of Syria.
The strike comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with international observers closely monitoring the evolving dynamics.
