"Israeli" forces claim 70-80% of Syrian military capabilities destroyed
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) announced that it conducted strikes on approximately 320 targets throughout Syria, ranging from Damascus to Tartus.
During the operation, the IOF reported the destruction of fighter jets, combat helicopters, radar systems, surface-to-air missile batteries, ships, surface-to-surface missiles, cruise missiles, Scud missiles, anti-ship missiles, weapon production sites, ammunition depots, and drones.
Around 350 fighter jets participated in the operation.
The IOF described this as part of the "main phase" of the operation which aims to eliminate the strategic capabilities of the Syrian army, claiming that 70-80 percent of its military capabilities were destroyed to prevent them from being accessed by hostile entities.
