The bombings come after extremist militants from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham captured the Syrian capital overnight
Israeli airstrikes hit the Mazzeh district of Damascus and an airbase in Suwayda in southern Syria on 8 December, just hours after the Syrian government fell to foreign-backed extremists.
Dozens of Israeli airstrikes hit the Mazzeh Military Airport along with customs and intelligence buildings, the security square, scientific research facilities, and defense laboratories.
Additionally, suspected Israeli warplanes bombed the Khalkhala air base in southern Syria, two regional security sources told Reuters.

The airbase was evacuated by the Syrian army overnight as militants from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) took control of the capital, Damascus.
The regional security sources said at least six strikes hit the air base, which is located near the Druze-majority city of Suwayda. The base has a large stockpile of rockets and missiles left behind by the Syrian army.
One source claimed that the attack appeared to be aimed at preventing these weapons from falling into the hands of HTS.
However, a militant commander who participated in the HTS attack on Aleppo a week ago told The Times of Israel that they are committed to friendly relations with Israel.
"We are open to friendship with everyone in the region – including Israel. We don't have enemies other than the Assad regime, Hezbollah and Iran. What Israel did against Hezbollah in Lebanon helped us a great deal. Now we are taking care of the rest," the commander stated.
During the war in Syria between 2011 and 2018, Israel provided direct support to militants from HTS, formerly known as the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front.
Israel provided weapons, medical assistance, salaries, and air support from its air force to Nusra militants as they battled the Syrian army in the south of the country.
After the war ended, Israel bombed Syria hundreds of times in what Israeli media dubbed the "war between the wars."
Israeli attacks intensified further after the start of the war in Gaza over a year ago. Israel claimed it was targeting weapons facilities used to support Hezbollah and the Islamic resistance in Lebanon.
