Israel conducted air strikes near Syria's Mediterranean port city of Tartous, targeting a military site in Qardaha, the hometown of deposed President Bashar al-Assad. The Israeli army stated that the operation aimed to prevent weapons from falling into hostile hands following al-Assad's ousting in December. Syrian state media reported no human casualties, with civil defense teams assessing the sites. Since al-Assad's removal, Israel has intensified operations in Syria, including moving forces into UN-monitored demilitarized zones and conducting numerous air raids on military assets. These actions have drawn criticism from Syrian national dialogue participants, who urge international pressure on Israel to cease such violations.
