Israel has carried out a wave of heavy airstrikes across Syria as its troops advance deeper into the country, reportedly drawing to within 15 miles of the capital. Associated Press reporters in Damascus heard heavy airstrikes overnight and into Tuesday on the city and its suburbs.
Hundreds of Syria n refugees gathered at a border crossing in southern Turkey on Monday, eagerly anticipating their return home following the fall of President Bashar Assad ’s government. Many arrived at the two crossings, Cilvegozu and Oncupinar, at daybreak, draped in blankets and coats. A number of explosions were heard near Qamishli airport in northeast Syria on Monday night.
Israel has also said it is striking suspected chemical weapons sites and heavy weapons to prevent them from falling into the hands of extremists. Israeli officials rarely acknowledge individual strikes., citing security concerns. Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war and annexed it in a move not recognized internationally, except by the United States.
An Israeli military official said troops plan to seize a buffer zone inside Syria as well as “a few more points that have strategic meaning,” without elaborating. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, dismissed reports of a larger Israeli invasion as “rumors.”
