Zionist regime launched airstrikes on specific locations in southern Syria, following its calls for the area to be “demilitarized”
In a recent series of operations, Israeli fighter jets conducted several airstrikes targeting military sites in southern Syria. The strikes focused on areas surrounding the capital, Damascus, as well as locations within the southern province of Dera’a. This military action follows a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called for the "demilitarization" of the region.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has confirmed strikes targeting military facilities in the town of Kiswah, located south of Damascus, along with various sites in Dera’a.
The Israeli publication Yedioth Ahronoth has reported allegations that Tel Aviv has initiated a plan to “enter and take control” of southern Syria.
The latest developments have emerged following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for the “full demilitarization” of southern Syria, encompassing the regions of Quneitra, Dara’a, and Sweida.
In 2011, Israel initiated support for certain militant groups in Syria and escalated military actions against the nation, aiming to dismantle the government of President Bashar al-Assad. This move was part of a broader strategy to counter a regime that had consistently challenged Israel’s influence in the region.
Late last year, the regime intensified its assaults throughout Syrian territories, asserting that the aim was to prevent the domestic conflict from extending into the occupied regions.
Israeli military units made an incursion into the United Nations-demarcated buffer zone that separates Syria from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, a move that drew condemnation from the United Nations.
In the midst of heightened Israeli military actions targeting both defensive and civilian infrastructures within Syria, foreign-backed militant groups successfully toppled the Syrian government and established their own administrative authority.
In response to the recent airstrikes carried out on Tuesday, Syria’s newly established authorities have issued a strong denunciation of Israel’s actions, labeling them as acts of aggression. They have called for the prompt withdrawal of Israeli forces from Syrian land and cautioned against the potential repercussions of Israel’s ongoing military involvement in the region.
Public Outcry Erupts Over Netanyahu’s ‘Demilitarization’ Initiative
In southern Syria, widespread protests broke out on Tuesday following recent remarks made by Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Protesters in several Syrian cities, including Dara’a, Damascus, Sweida, and Quneitra, rallied against the recent remarks made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the capital, demonstrators assembled outside the United Nations office, condemning his comments and calling for an international reaction to what they view as Israeli encroachments on Syria’s territorial integrity.
A significant number of demonstrators underscored the importance of Syria’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, firmly opposing any form of external intervention, be it from the current regime or other parties.
