JERUSALEM, Feb 26 (NNN-MA’AN) – Zionist Israel’s Defence Minister, Israel Katz, said, Israeli warplanes struck southern Syria last night, claiming that, the attack was part of the regime’s new policy of “demilitarising southern Syria.”
“The Air Force is currently forcefully striking southern Syria,” Katz said in a statement, adding that, the attack was part of the policy, announced on Monday by recalcitrant Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to “demilitarise southern Syria.”
“The message is clear: we will not allow southern Syria to become southern Lebanon,” he haughtily said, noting that, any attempt by Syria’s new government’s forces and militant groups to establish themselves in southern Syria “will be met with fire.”
Syrian media reported that, Zionist warplanes carried out multiple airstrikes across southern Syria, as ground forces advance between Daraa and Quneitra in the south.
The barbaric Israeli military confirmed in a statement that, the attack targeted military sites in Syria, including command centres and multiple sites containing weapons.
“The presence of military forces and assets in the southern part of Syria pose a threat to the citizens of the regime,” the military claimed, vowing to “continue to operate to remove any threat to the citizens of the regime of Israel.”– NNN-MA’AN
