Details
Last night, the Israeli military conducted a massive air strike on military facilities in the Syrian province of Tartus. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the IDF attack targeted warehouses with surface-to-surface missiles and ammunition.
The power of the shock was so great that it has been compared to an earthquake.
For reference
This was the largest strike on Tartus since Israeli operations in Syria began in 2012. The province is of strategic importance: it is home to the only Russian naval port on the Mediterranean, built in the Soviet era. This facility played a key role in supplying the Syrian army with weapons and other resources during the civil war.
Recall
The Israeli Defense Forces announced the possibility of striking Iran's nuclear facilities after the weakening of its allies in the region. The Israeli Air Force is increasing its readiness for potential strikes, despite Iran's denial of developing nuclear weapons.
