Israeli DF: The IDF "will soon raise the level of its responses" if Syrian forces continue to threaten the Druze
The Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday attacked the entrance to the Syrian regime’s military headquarters in the Damascus area in response to reports of atrocities against local Druze residents.
“The IDF continues to monitor developments and the regime’s actions against Druze civilians in southern Syria,” the military said. “In accordance with directives from the political echelon, the IDF is striking in the area and remains prepared for various scenarios.”
“Air Force aircraft have attacked over the past 24 hours—and continue to strike—tanks, rocket launchers, combat equipment and pickups armed with heavy machine guns making their way to the Sweida area of southern Syria,” the IDF announced in a separate statement.
