Jul 10, 2024, 12:54 PM

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed that they struck multiple Syrian army targets in the Golan Heights area. The strikes were in response to violations of the 1974 Agreement on Disengagement between Israel and Syria. According to the IDF, Syrian military infrastructure, including tanks and artillery, had crossed into the buffer zone, prompting the Israeli military to take action. The IDF holds the Syrian military responsible for all activities in its territory and has distributed leaflets in the Quneitra countryside, warning against further deployment of military forces in the demilitarized zone. This marks a rare confirmation of such strikes by the IDF.
