Israel has conducted new air attacks on the Syrian coast and Raid of Earth in the south of the country, part of a wave of attacks that Israel says is necessary for its safety that has raised tensions with the new Syrian government.
The strikes seemed to be the last attempt to keep the weapons from the Assad regime from the hands of groups that could be hostile to Israel.
The Israeli army declared on Monday evening that she had targeted a weapon storage structure in Qardaha, the hometown of former President Bashar al-Assad. The city is located a few kilometers from a large Russian air base outside the coastal city of Latakia. There have been no immediate reports of victims, according to the Syrian state press agency.
Hours later, the Israeli military conducted raids of land in two cities of southern Syria, cutting the streets and searched military barracks before exploding the warehouses and retreating, according to the Syrian observatory for human rights, a group of war monitoring with headquarters in Britain.
The attacks arrived a week after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel asked for the “complete demilitarization” of most of the southern Syria “from the forces of the new regime”.
Since the Assad regime was overturned in December by a rebel of lightning of lightning, Israel has carried out hundreds of air attacks in Syria who according to him aims to prevent weapons that fall into what he considers potentially hostile hands.
He also deployed his forces in a demilitarized area monitored by the United Nations on his border with Syria and invaded the border villages in southern Syria in those that described as temporary measures to protect their safety. Many Syrians fear that incursions can turn into a prolonged military occupation.
The new government of Syria said that Israel was violating its sovereignty. The attacks were sentenced internationally, with the United Nations in January that the “territorial integrity of the country and the unit must be completely restored”.
After the violence broke out between Syrian government officers and armed men on the outskirts of Damascus last week, Netanyahu said he had commissioned the military to defend the country’s minority of the country from the new sovereigns of Syria, a move that the Syrian leaders and the government leaders have rejected.
The interim president of Syria, Ahmed al-Shara, repeatedly said that Syria is not looking for a conflict with Israel. In a two -day conference of “national dialogue” in Damascus last week that was billed as the beginning of a trial to build an inclusive Syrian government, the closing declaration rejected the threat of Israel that would not allow the presence of Syrian armed forces in the south of the country.
It is not clear, however, how the leadership of Syria will answer the Israeli question.
