We hold the Syrian regime responsible for the actions that take place in Syrian territory and warn them against allowing further attacks against Israel.
We will continue operating firmly and for as long as necessary against the Iranian entrenchment in Syria.

The IDF claimed that its forces have destroyed “a number” of Syrian air defense batteries, which were firing missiles in respnose to the Israeli agression and threatened Syria with more strikes.
The Syrian state media confirmed that its air defenses came under “heavy attack” by Israeli warplanes that targeted the Damascus area from the Israeli-controlled part of the occupied Golan Heights and Lebanese airspace near the town of Marjayoun.
The state-media claimed that most of the missiles failed to impact and were destroyed on approach to Damascus. While the real impact of the Israeli strikes on miltiary targets in Syria remains unclear, there is a visual evidence confirming that Israeli missiles targeted several civilian areas: near Sa’sa, southwest of Damascus, and in Qudsaya west of Damascus.
