DAMASCUS, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- A total of 79 Israeli strikes have targeted Syria over the past 32 months, destroying 250 targets, a war monitor reported on Wednesday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that it had documented the strikes from the beginning of 2018 until the beginning of September 2020.

The Britain-based watchdog group said that the Israeli strikes had killed 509 people and destroyed 250 targets, including weapon depots, buildings, and military headquarters.

Throughout the Syrian crisis, Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria, as well as convoys transporting weapons to the Shiite militant group Hezbollah, a Lebanese militia allegedly backed by Iran. Enditem
