Colossal Explosion Erupts in Syria as Israel Launches Heaviest Strikes in Over a Decade
A dramatic moment unfolded in Syria as a colossal explosion erupted in the northern region, believed to be caused by an Israeli strike. The blast was so powerful that it registered on the Richter scale and was felt as a 3.0-magnitude earthquake on nearby seismic sensors. Dozens of other Israeli attacks were seen across Syria on Sunday, targeting air defense units and surface-to-surface missile depots.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that Israel was targeting a munitions depot in the area, one of many sites it hit, including air defense units and “surface-to-surface missile depots.” The organization described the blasts as “the heaviest strikes in Syria’s coastal region since 2012.”
The attacks came just days after more Israeli strikes on Syrian airbases lit up the night sky, including a stunning series of hits on the Qamishli airbase in the northeast of the country. The Israeli military has been launching strikes on military targets inside Syria for years, claiming it is necessary to prevent weapons and military equipment from falling into the hands of extremist groups.
The Syrian regime, along with its allies in Iran and Qatar, have condemned Israel’s actions, labeling them as “violations of Syrian infrastructure” and “seizure of Syrian land.” Israel, however, has maintained that its actions are temporary and necessary to address immediate security threats.
The situation has sparked concerns about the potential resurgence of ISIS forces in Syria, with a UK terrorism lawmaker warning that the release of ISIS fighters from Syrian jails could lead to a new wave of terrorism. The conflict has been ongoing for years, with Israel repeatedly launching airstrikes on targets in Syria, and the situation remains highly volatile.
