Strikes in Syria

#Syria 

On Tuesday night, the Israeli Army (IDF) carried out strikes against military targets in southern Syria, including command centers and several weapons sites, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit reported

According to the statement, the presence of military forces and weapons in southern Syria poses a danger to Israeli citizens.

“The IDF will continue to act to eliminate any threat to the citizens of the State of Israel,” the statement added.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz spoke about the strikes and explained that “the air force is striking southern Syria hard as part of the new policy we have defined to demilitarize this region – and the message is clear: we will not allow southern Syria to become southern Lebanon.” He was referring to southern Lebanon, an area controlled by the Hezbollah group, which Israel considers a threat.

Katz also said that “we will not compromise on the security of our citizens.

Any attempt by Syrian regime forces or terrorist groups to establish themselves in the security zone in southern Syria will be met with fire.” Syrian media outlets reported Tuesday night that Israeli strikes had been carried out near the town of Al-Kiswah, southwest of Damascus.

According to the reports, the strikes hit a base belonging to the former regime of Assad, the former Syrian president.

In addition, Israeli strikes were reported in the area around the town of Izraa in southern Syria, north of Daraa.

At the same time, IDF soldiers began operating in several villages in the northern part of the buffer zone in the Golan Heights, an area disputed between Israel and Syria.

Last week, on Thursday, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) struck crossing points on the Lebanese-Syrian border that were used by the Hezbollah terrorist group to try to smuggle weapons into Lebanon.

“These actions are a clear violation of the ceasefire agreements between Israel and Lebanon.

The IDF continues to work to remove any threat to the State of Israel and will prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding its forces,” the IDF said.

Two days earlier, the Israeli Air Force had also struck weapons of the former Syrian regime in the Sasa region of southern Syria.
