Israeli Warplanes Hammer Syria With 200 Strikes in a Day as Netanyahu Declares 1974 Agreement Dead

Israeli warplanes launched a massive assault on Syria, conducting over 100 airstrikes in a single day, targeting key military and intelligence sites in Damascus, Homs, and Daraa. This aerial offensive follows the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime and comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the 1974 Disengagement Agreement with Syria null and void, signaling Israel’s intent to occupy the strategic buffer zone near the Golan Heights. Israeli forces took control of the Mazzeh base on Mount Hermon, while advancing into several towns, including Quneitra and Khan Arnabeh. Israeli military officials issued warnings for residents in areas near the Golan to stay indoors as operations continued. #IsraeliAirstrikes #SyriaUnderAttack #NetanyahuAnnouncement #1974Agreement #SyriaConflict #MiddleEastTensions #IsraelInvasion #WarInSyria #AirstrikesOnDamascus #GolanHeights #IsraelMilitary #SyriaEscalation #SyrianWar #IsraeliForces #SyriaUnderSiege Also Read Air India Flights flew Over Iranian Airspace Just Before Israeli Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/air-india-flights-flew-over-iranian-airspace-just-before-israeli-attack-3801055.html Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh Resigns Amid Israel Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/palestinian-prime-minister-mohammad-shtayyeh-resigns-amid-israel-conflict-3759891.html US Begins Delivery of Munitions and Military Equipment to Israel | Washington AP :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-begins-delivery-munitions-military-equipment-israel-gen-3655257.html ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.336~
