The Israeli Air Force carried out a series of massive strikes that destroyed all of Syria's fighter jets. The strikes targeted air force bases and airfields, including those housing MiG-29s delivered to Syria several years ago. The operation effectively deprived the Syrian army of the ability to use aircraft in combat.

According to sources, the attacks targeted key aviation facilities in the central and southern parts of the country, which was a serious blow to the military infrastructure of Syria. The destruction of the aircraft fleet undermines the defense capability of the Syrian armed forces, which have now lost one of the most important tools for supporting ground operations.

Experts note that the Israeli Air Force operation was aimed at neutralizing a possible threat from Syrian aviation. The MiG-29s, considered one of the most modern elements of the Syrian fleet, could have been used as a tool to deter attacks or support Damascus's allies. However, the Israeli strikes deprived these aircraft of combat capability even before their active use by the new authorities of the Arab Republic.
