Greater Israel’: With Assad out of picture, Israel moves to grab more Syrian land

With the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government, the Israeli regime has intensified its aggression on Syria, initiating an unlawful land appropriation beyond the occupied Golan Heights in what is seen as a component of the so-called “Greater Israel” project.

In a dramatic turn of events, militant groups overrun Damascus on Sunday, less than two weeks into their offensive that began in Aleppo, ending the two-decade reign of Bashar al-Assad.

Immediately after militants affiliated with Hayat Tahrir-al Sham swarmed Damascus, Israel launched a barrage of airstrikes across Syria, including in Damascus, Homs, Tartous, Latakia and Palmyra.

Israeli media called it “one of the biggest air attacks” in the regime's air force’s history, destroying up to 80 percent of Syria’s military capabilities.

On Wednesday, Israel’s military said it carried out about 480 strikes on military targets in Syria over the past 48 hours, including on 15 naval vessels, anti-aircraft batteries and weapons production sites in several cities, to prevent “strategic weapons stockpiles."

A day before, the Israeli military targeted three major Syrian airports in Qamishili, north of the country, Homs, the country’s third-largest city, and Mezzeh airport in the capital Damascus.
