Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the demilitarization of the region on Monday, with Israeli attacks targeting military installations in southwestern Syria. According to the Israeli army, the attacks hit command centers and arms storage facilities.
At least two people were killed when an Jewish attack struck a military unit’s office south of Damascus, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Nevertheless, it was questionable whether the subjects were military personnel or residents. Another Israeli hit hit Show al-Hara in Daraa state, a proper hillside near the Golan Heights, the track added.
” Over the past few hours, the IDF ( Israeli military ) struck military targets in southern Syria including command centres and multiple sites containing weapons”, the Israeli army said in a statement. The presence of military troops and resources in Syria’s southwestern region poses a threat to Israeli people. The IDF may continue to operate in order to eliminate any risk to the Israeli people.
After Netanyahu had issued a warning on Sunday that Israel would not tolerate the presence of Syrian forces or members of the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham ( HTS ) in southern Syria, the airstrikes were carried out. He said,” We will not allow forces from the HTS organization or the new Syrian army to enter the area south of Damascus,” calling for the” complete demilitarization of southern Syria, including the Quneitra, Daraa, and Suwayda provinces.”
Israel sent troops into a UN-monitored cushion area separating Israeli and Palestinian troops on the Golan Heights, a country Israel captured from Syria in 1967 and afterward annexed after Bashar al-Assad’s state fell in December. Jewish forces” for an indefinite period to defend our communities and prevent any threat,” according to Netanyahu.
Since 2011, Israel has carried out numerous airstrikes in Syria, generally targeting military installations based in Iran. It intensified strikes to stop Syrian military installations from entering the hands of unfriendly forces following Assad’s impeachment.
Earlier Tuesday, Syria’s national dialogue meeting condemned Netanyahu’s notes, calling them “provocative” and urging global force to end” Jewish anger and breaches”. The event also denounced Israel’s martial presence inside Palestinian territory.
