The presence of such equipment constitutes a threat to the State of Israel and IDF operations, the military explained, and the targets were attacked in order to eliminate future threats.
According to Syrian reports, these were military targets of the previous Assad regime in the villages of Jabab and Izra, in the Daraa province of southern Syria. Syrian reports claimed that these were targets that previously belonged to the 12th Brigade and the 89th Battalion in Bashar al-Assad’s army.
According to local residents, the IAF struck the targets 28 times.
Through intermediaries, Israeli security officials conveyed a strong message to the new Syrian regime, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, that Israel will not allow the Sunni rebel organization HTS (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) to establish itself in Syrian outposts or to build new ones in southern Syria.
The officials made it clear that any such establishment would be attacked by the IDF, which would enforce by all means necessary the demilitarization of the region from armed organizations that could threaten Israel.
More likely they are wiping out systems that could warn Iran of an attack.
