Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that his nation delivered “a clear warning to the Syrian regime” through targeted strikes in southern Syria. The military action aimed to prevent Syrian government forces from capturing a Druze village.
The strikes hit an area where violent clashes between Druze and Bedouin fighters had erupted. Katz characterized the operation as “a clear message and warning to the Syrian regime” in a statement on X, emphasizing: “We will not allow any harm to come to the Druze in Syria. Israel will not stand idly by.”
