BEIRUT: Israel has delivered an air strike on a weapons depot in southern Syria, Al Jazeera reported.
According to the Qatari TV channel, a weapons depot belonging to the Syrian army near Izra, in the Daraa Governorate 70 kilometers (43.5 miles) south of Damascus, was bombed. The air raid caused a number of explosions.
The Israeli military has been regularly attacking such facilities of late, fearing lest "hostile elements" should use the weapons stored there against the Jewish state.
Syria’s armed opposition forces launched a large-scale offensive on government troops in the Aleppo and Idlib governorates on November 27. By the evening of December 7, they seized several large cities, including Aleppo, Hama, Deir ez-Zor, Daraa, and Homs. On Sunday morning, they entered Damascus as government troops withdrew from the city. Following intra-Syrian talks, Syrian President Bashar Assad stepped down and fled the country.
