Here is the summary article:
A massive explosion erupted in Syria, marking the “heaviest strikes” in over a decade, with the blast registering on the Richter scale. The explosion was caused by an Israeli strike, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR). The blast was so powerful that it could be seen from miles away, filling the sky with a giant mushroom-cloud fireball, accompanied by deafening sounds.
The explosion is believed to have occurred in northwestern Syria, near the city of Tartus, and was part of a series of strikes launched by Israel against air defense units, surface-to-surface missile depots, and other military targets. The SOHR described the strikes as “the heaviest strikes in Syria’s coastal region since the start of strikes in 2012.”
The attacks, which saw dozens of Israeli warplanes launch pinpoint strikes, came just days after more Israeli strikes on Syrian airbases lit up the night sky. The blasts were accompanied by the sound of shells and arms blowing up, lasting for at least 30 minutes.
Israel has been carrying out military actions in Syria since President Bashar al-Assad’s regime fell, with the aim of preventing his weapons and military equipment from falling into the hands of extremist groups. The strikes have been heavily criticized by countries such as Iran and Qatar, which have accused Israel of violating Syrian sovereignty. Israel, however, has maintained that its actions are necessary to address immediate security threats and prevent a resurgence in terrorist activity.
