While Western corporate media outlets present a picture of celebrations and parties in the street over the fall of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, the reality on the ground is a much different story.
Ever since the fall of Assad, Israel has launched an unprecedented bombing campaign all across the country, targeting Syria’s military bases, equipment, airplanes, ships, and weapons depots. The Israeli goal is to eliminate the ability of any military threat or resistance by its neighbor, regardless of who the ruling party might be. Having supported the jihadists over the entirety of the last 13 years, the Israeli government now seeks to castrate them into complete military impotence, a plan that seems to be working extremely well.
Israeli strikes in Tartus countryside caused massive explosions, Al Mayadeen‘s correspondent reported early Monday, as the Israeli regime continues to target and destroy Syria’s military capabilities.
Several civilians were killed and injured in what has been described as the heaviest and most violent attacks on Syria since the onset of Israeli aggression. The intense bombardment on the city was so powerful that it caused an earthquake-like tremor, which residents could physically feel, according to Al Mayadeen‘s correspondent.
Israeli media reporting on the bombing described the aggression as a “Hiroshima in Tartus” due to the intensity of the attacks.
Our correspondent said that the strikes targeted weapons depots in several sites in western Syria.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the bombs were so powerful they registered a 3.0 on seismic sensors.
Syrians reported hearing and feeling the explosions in locations over an hour away from Tartous.
In addition to the Israeli bombings, the situation on the ground inside Syria is tense to say the least.
For its part, the Syrian National Army (SNA) is reportedly living up to its word to protect civilians and prevent sectarian clashes.
While some semblance of normalcy is attempting to return – shops are reopening and Syrians are going back to work – clashes can be heard all over, though it is unclear who exactly is fighting who and what they are fighting over. Some have reported it is the “Syrian opposition” infighting, others have suggested it is rival militias or religious sects.
As it stands, if the Israeli attacks do not stop and order is not soon restored with a centralized government (even a decentralized one), Syria risks descending into outright chaos, similar to the Lebanese civil war. This is not only dangerous for the Syrian people but also for the region and possibly the rest of the world.
