Bashar al-Assad fled his country over the weekend, and rebels have taken over.
Now Israel is working overtime to preemptively strike Syrian targets while they have the opportunity to do so.
Check this out:
Israel has confirmed it has carried out attacks on Syria's naval fleet.
The BBC has verified videos showing blasts at the port of Latakia in Syria, with footage appearing to show extensive damage to ships and parts of the port.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) says it has documented more than 310 strikes by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) since the fall of the Assad regime on Sunday.
Israeli warplanes have also reportedly carried out hundreds of airstrikes across Syria, including on the capital, Damascus.
In a statement, Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz said the IDF was aiming to 'destroy strategic capabilities that threaten the State of Israel'.
He added that the operation to destroy the Syrian fleet had been a 'great success'.
Meanwhile, the IDF confirmed it has troops operating in Syrian territory beyond the demilitarized buffer zone between Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Israel says while they have entered Syria, rumors of Israeli tanks approaching Damascus are false. They claim to only be stationed in the demilitarized zone on the countries' border.
The Israelis say they are doing this to prevent weapons from falling "into the hands of extremists," which is, unfortunately, very likely given the current state of things inside Syria.
