The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said its air force and navy have conducted hundreds of strikes since Saturday night on targets across Syria.
The IDF said these strikes have taken out an estimated 70-80% of Syrian strategic military assets, from Damascus to Latakia.
Earlier, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it had documented more than 310 strikes by the IDF since the Syrian government was overthrown by rebels on Sunday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Syrian rebel group that ousted President Bashar al-Assad, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, that Israel would "respond forcefully" if they allow Iran to "re-establish itself in Syria".
He has previously expressed a desire for peaceful ties with the new Syrian government, and cast its interventions as defensive.
