​​​​​​​During 2022, Israel has targeted Syria 25 times, while Damascus satisfied with condemnations

Israel continues to violate Syria’s sovereignty, citing the large military presence of Iranian forces and their proxy militias as an excuse, and noticeably escalated its strikes in Syria in early 2018, while the Syrian regime seems satisfied with mere condemnations and press releases.

SOHR documented 25 airstrikes and ground rocket attacks since the beginning of 2022, during which Israel targeted several positions in Syria, destroying nearly 73 targets, including buildings, warehouses, headquarters, centres and vehicles. These strikes killed 56 military personnel and injured 68 others, as well as the injury of 23 civilians, including a little girl and at least three women.

In addition to the killing of the "head of the workers' category in the ground freight department" at Damascus Airport and the wounding of 23 civilians, including a girl and at least 3 women.

The targets were distributed as follows: 14 targeting Damascus and its countryside, 5 in Quneitra, 3 in Hama, 2 in Tartous, and 2 in Aleppo.

It is noteworthy that the last Israeli targeting on Syrian territory occurred after midnight last night, as a military source told a Damascus government agency that “at around 12:45 a.m. today, Saturday, the Israeli enemy carried out an air aggression with bursts of missiles from the northeastern direction of Lake Tiberias, targeting Damascus International Airport and some points south of the city of Damascus, and our air defenses confronted the aggression's missiles and shot down most of them."

The source added, "The aggression led to the martyrdom of five soldiers and some material losses."

SOHR said that " Seven Iranian-backed non-Syrian militiamen were killed in the Israeli attack that hit positions in Mazarae’ Al-Ghasolah near Damascus International Airport, the vicinity of Al-Sayda Zainab area and Al-Kaswa area in Damascus countryside, where Iranian-backed militias are stationed.
