Israel Continues to Strike Syria Despite ‘Assurance’

Israel has struck Syria 61 times in less than five hours, Sunday, according to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The news is trending on the social media with the Israeli strikes reaching Damascus, Homs, Deraa, Suwayda, Sednaya, the so-called torture chamber prison under the Al Assad regime.

However, the Observatory claims 52 of these strikes were conducted on military depots that belonged to the ousted regime inside different areas of Syria.

The Observatory, which is based in the UK, claims that since the fall of Bashar Al Assad last week, Israel conducted 446 airstrikes on Syria on 8 December, 2024.

Syria watchers, including those in the Arab world are condemning the non-stop Israeli attacks as willful destruction of essential security public property that now belongs to the Syrian people.  

The new Syrian leader Ahmad Al Sharaa, known as Mohammad Al Jolani whose HTS (Hayat Tahrir Al Sham) group was mainly responsible for the ouster of the old Baathist regime says he is not interested in a new conflict with Israel.

But despite this the Israelis, who occupy the Golan Heights, continue to bomb Syrian targets
