Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on the headquarters of the Syrian Arab Army’s 10th Division in Qatana, a town about 20 kilometres southwest of Damascus, on 16 July, according to Syrian media reports and local monitoring groups. The raids struck the base and its surroundings, but there were no immediate details on casualties or the extent of the damage. Israel has regularly targeted military sites in Syria, saying the strikes aim to curb Iranian-backed forces and weapons transfers in the country.
