Israel's military has conducted airstrikes on strategic weapons systems, residual chemical weapon capabilities, and long-range missiles and rockets in Syria. The goal is to prevent these weapons from falling into the hands of extremist groups, according to Foreign Minister Gideon Saar.
Saar stated during a media briefing that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had also taken temporary and focused control of strategic areas near the border to prevent potential attacks similar to the one on October 7 originating from Syria.
