STORYLINE:

Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes on Monday targeting Syrian navy vessels docked at Latakia Port and military depots in coastal areas, according to a war monitor.

The Israeli strikes also hit arms depots in Syria's capital Damascus in what appears to be a systematic effort to dismantle Syria's remaining military infrastructure following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's government, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

In addition, airstrikes targeted the 112th Brigade between the cities of Sheikh Miskin and Nawa in the west of Daraa province, as well as military depots near the Mahja town in northern Daraa.

Two civilians were killed in airstrikes on the 12th Brigade in the city of Izraa, the observatory added.

According to the observatory, the strikes are part of Israel's intensified efforts to degrade Syria's military capabilities by systematically destroying its equipment and facilities, including radar systems, long-range missiles, and airbases.
