DAMASCUS — Israel pounded Syrian army bases on Tuesday in strikes it says aim to keep weapons from falling into hostile hands, but denied that its forces had advanced into Syria beyond a buffer zone at the border.
In the Syrian capital Damascus, banks reopened for the first time since President Bashar al-Assad was overthrown, in a major step toward restoring normal life. Shops were reopening, traffic returned to the roads, construction workers were back fixing a roundabout in the city center and street cleaners were out sweeping the streets.
