Tracking of reported airstrikes, ground operations and cross-border activity in Syria, with timestamps and source links when available.
Syria borders Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east, Jordan to the south and Israel (along the Golan Heights) and Lebanon to the south-west, with a Mediterranean coast around Latakia and Tartus. Damascus, the capital, lies in the south-west about 60 km from the Golan ceasefire line and roughly 85 km from Beirut; Aleppo, Hama and Homs run up the western spine; Deir ez-Zor and the Euphrates valley in the east meet the Iraqi border. Strikes attributed to Israel cluster around Damascus, the coast and the south; cross-border activity clusters along the Iraqi and Lebanese borders.

Where is Syria in relation to Israel and Iran? Syria shares a border with Israel along the Golan Heights and lies between Iran and the Mediterranean, which is why supply routes toward Lebanon and strikes on them have made it a corridor of the wider conflict. Syria and Iran do not share a border; Iraq lies between them.
