Israel conducted two airstrikes near Damascus on Dec. 7; one took place near Dimas, which houses military facilities, and the other hit near Damascus International Airport. Both the Syrian regime and Iran condemned the attack. UN observers have documented numerous interactions between Israeli forces and Syrian rebels in the Golan Heights. Al Nusrah has reportedly taken control of a military residential compound in Deraa and is moving on the town of Azraa and the regime stronghold of Damascus province. The Syrian Army has beaten back an Islamic State assault on a military airport in Deir al-Zor.
