I would like to update you on what we did in Syria, and what we will do in Syria. We have set a clear policy: demilitarizing the area south of Damascus, from the Golan Heights to the Druze Mountains area, is one line. The second line - protecting the brothers of our brothers, the Druze in the Druze Mountains.

Both of these things were violated by the regime in Damascus. It sent an army south of Damascus, into the area that should be demilitarized, and it began massacring the Druze. We could not accept this in any way.

Therefore, I instructed the IDF to act - and to act with force. The Air Force attacked both the murder gangs and the armored personnel carriers. I also added a target to attack the Defense Ministry in Damascus.
