Syria News Live | Israel Strikes Military Sites In Syria's Tartus, Blast Registered On Richter Scale

Israeli strikes in the Tartus countryside caused massive explosions on December 16, with reports describing the attacks as the heaviest and most violent since the start of Israeli aggression on Syria. Several civilians were killed and injured in the intense bombardment, which was so powerful that it created an earthquake-like tremor felt by residents. Israeli media referred to the assault as a "Hiroshima in Tartus" due to its intensity. The strikes targeted weapons depots across western Syria. That morning, the Israeli regime resumed its aggression by hitting a military site in the al-Bukamal desert in eastern Deir Ezzor. Meanwhile, Israeli forces advanced into Syrian territories, occupying the buffer zone east of the Golan and expanding their offensive into Quneitra, Daraa and Damascus countryside.
