Overnight strikes targeted former army positions, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor. Israel has said it aims to keep military equipment away from extremists.

Israel has once again attacked military targets in Syria. Sounds of explosions were heard in the provinces of Latakia and Tartus, among others, where the Russians have military bases. One of the explosions near Tartus was so powerful that it registered as a magnitude three earthquake on seismic sensors in the area.
