Israel launched a massive airstrike on northwestern Syria near Tartus on Sunday, reportedly targeting a weapons depot, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR). The attack caused a devastating explosion, producing a mushroom cloud visible for miles and registering on the Richter scale. SOHR described the wave of strikes as Israel’s largest assault on Syria’s coastal region since it began targeting the country in 2012. The attacks come amidst ongoing regional tensions following the collapse of the Assad regime. Israel has not commented on the strike, but it has previously targeted weapons transfers and depots linked to Iran-backed groups in Syria. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu Confirms ‘Very Friendly’ Call With Donald Trump About Need for Victory Against Iran.
