Let us recall that the IDF air force carried out a series of precision strikes on military targets in the area of the Syrian city of Tartus, located near the Russian naval base.
It was reported that the target of the attack was a radar located on the outskirts of the port city, as well as missile warehouses belonging to the regime of Bashar al-Assad. According to local sources, powerful explosions caused an earthquake of magnitude 3, which was confirmed by regional seismologists.
The Russian agency Sputnik points out the serious consequences of the strike. The operation was part of a large-scale IDF campaign called Hat Bashan, aimed at eliminating the strategic military capabilities of the Syrian army and preventing the transfer of weapons to hostile groups.
Earlier, Cursor reported that the IDF stopped another attempt by Hezbollah to violate the truce.
IDF fighters used a drone to eliminate a Hezbollah terrorist.
Cursor also wrote that the IDF destroyed a Hamas battle tunnel in Gaza.
The tunnel in the Jabaliya area was used by militants for the October 10 attack, where three IDF soldiers were killed
