Damascus, Syria - December 08, 2024 A latest video from China Global Television Network (CGTN) reporter showed that Israel has launched airstrikes on a weapons depot in Damascus. According to the reporter, the strike reportedly aims to prevent advanced weaponry from falling into the hands of Syrian rebel forces. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops seized a Syrian army outpost at the summit of Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights on Sunday, Israeli state media reported. Earlier on Sunday, the military announced it was moving into the buffer zone, a demilitarized area in the Golan Heights, stating the move was intended to prevent rebel forces from taking over the area and launching attacks into Israel. By nightfall, the IDF confirmed in a post on the social media platform X that it was conducting "actions" within the buffer zone. Shotlist: Damascus, Syria - Dec 8, 2024: 1.

SOUNDBITE (English) Hydar Kazwini, reporter, CGTN: "As we can see here, it looks like that the Israelis, they don't want the weapons of the Syrian military to be looted or to be scattered in hands of rebels because now they don't know who the weapons here are. There are people from everywhere, everywhere who's carrying a weapon, a light weapon is considered a rebel. So the Israelis don't know the orientation of them. They don't know their objectives, whether they are rebels, they have anti-Israeli sentiments. So they're striking all the maybe cutting-edge weapons that can be found when the Syrian military evacuated places. They are just preventing those weapons from reaching to the Syrian rebels."; 3.
