No Normalization? Syria Reports Powerful Israeli Strikes
Despite contacts for normalization, Syria reports that Israeli aircraft attacked weapons warehouses in Idlib to thwart weapons transfers to jihadist groups in the region
Despite recent reports of progress in contacts to normalize relations between the new regime in Syria and Israel, sources are reporting powerful Israeli Air Force strikes in the Idlib region in northwestern Syria in recent hours.
According to reports on social networks and Syrian opposition channels, Air Force fighter jets attacked and destroyed weapons and ammunition warehouses belonging to the Syrian Arab Army in al-Fou'ah and Kafriya in Idlib province. According to the sources, the goal was to thwart the transfer of combat means to jihadist groups supported by Erdogan's regime in Turkey.
The reports come against the backdrop of mediation attempts between the sides, which have not yet matured into an agreement or clear understandings on the ground. Israel maintains official silence regarding the strike, while so far silence has also been recorded from official sources in Syria.
This is despite the fact that according to details that were published, one of the Syrian demands is the cessation of Israeli activity in the country's territory.
