The Israeli army has destroyed 70–80% of the strategic positions of the Syrian army between the Syrian capital, Damascus, and Latakia. According to Israeli officials, its air force and navy have carried out over 350 strikes in Syria since Saturday night.

Israel has been consistently targeting military positions in Syria since the ouster of Bashar al-Assad from power in Syria, stating that these actions are to prevent Syrian army weapons from falling into rebel hands.

Currently, a rebel government is in control in Syria, with Mohammed al-Bashir serving as the interim prime minister.

Meanwhile, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry has condemned Israel's actions. In an official statement, Pakistan expressed deep concern over the ongoing Israeli military operations in Syria.
