The Syrian Navy (Arabic: الْبَحْرِيَّةُ السُّورِيَّةُ, romanizedal-Baḥrīyah as-Sūrīyah) is the naval branch of the Syrian Armed Forces.

After the fall of the Assad regime in 2024, its military assets fell into the hands of a new coalition which is attempting to reconstitute previous state institutions under new leadership, organization and direction as a unified national force.

History

[edit]

Shortly after the collapse of the Ba'athist regime, on December 9, 2024 the Israeli Air Force launched an attack on various assets of the Syrian Fleet. Israel sought to destroy important naval assets to prevent their use by the incoming Syrian Government in the context of the 2024 Israeli invasion of Syria. Among other damage, at least 6 Osa-class missile boats were destroyed in Latakia.[1]

The Syrian Navy, under the newly formed provisional government, first conducted routine patrols on April 25, 2025.[2] The Navy's first large-scale operation was May 9, 2025, in order to combat weapons smuggling and human trafficking.[2] In July 2025, cooperation was reported between the Turkish Directorate General of Maritime Affairs and the Syrian Maritime Navigation Authority (Arabic: هيئة الملاحة البحرية السورية) aimed at rebuilding and operating Syrian ports and developing roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) maritime transport services between Turkey and Syria.[3] Various naval tests were conducted off the coast of Syria during August and September.[4]
