Israel conducted strikes Monday targeting positions of the deposed Syrian government’s army including in Damascus, the south and the coast, a war monitor said, the latest in a series of attacks since rebels took over a day earlier.

“Israeli strikes targeted military sites, including weapons depots housing anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft weapons,” Rami Abdel Rahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor told AFP. “Israel is deliberately destroying anything it perceives as a threat,” he added.
