Israel Launches Massive Airstrikes on the Outskirts of Damascus
Israeli aviation launched around 60 airstrikes on Syrian territory on the night of March 7, including rural areas near the capital, Damascus. According to Syrian military and local sources, the attack was one of the largest in recent months, raising concerns about further escalation of the conflict in the region.
Course of the Attack and Destruction The attack began around midnight when Israeli planes struck military targets near Damascus. The strikes continued for several hours, and Syrian air defense systems were unable to intercept the entire attack. As a result of the bombings, explosions, infrastructure damage, and fires were reported.
Syrian authorities stated that some rockets hit residential neighborhoods, causing casualties among the civilian population. Rescue operations are currently underway, but the exact number of casualties has not yet been confirmed.
Preliminary reports indicate that the targets of the strikes were military bases, weapon storage depots, and infrastructure facilities, which Israel claims are used by groups linked to Iran and Hezbollah.
Damascus' Response and the International Community The Syrian leadership condemned the attack, calling it "another act of military aggression," and appealed to international organizations to stop the strikes.
The UN has not provided an official comment so far, and Western countries have traditionally not intervened, considering the situation part of the regional conflict.
Earlier, Damascus had appealed to the UN Security Council to condemn Israel's attacks, but these initiatives have not led to concrete actions.
Escalation of the Conflict and Possible Consequences Israeli strikes on Syria have become increasingly frequent and powerful, raising the risk of a full-scale confrontation.
Israel claims the strikes are targeting Iran and Hezbollah's presence in the region, but Syrian military personnel and civilians are also suffering.
Syria is losing control over strategically important regions as its armed forces are exhausted from years of civil war.
Iran and Hezbollah continue to strengthen their positions in Syria, creating conditions for further confrontation with Israel.
Analysts warn that if such attacks continue, Syria may enter a new phase of war, with the interests of Israel, Iran, Turkey, and other players clashing.
The situation in the region remains tense, and further military actions could lead to unpredictable consequences, including a new wave of refugees, infrastructure destruction, and the expansion of fighting beyond Syria.
