The Israeli military has reported the confiscation of several Syrian tanks along the buffer zone that separates the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights from Syria. The 474th Brigade Combat Team, operating in key positions within the area of separation, has been targeting threats and terrorist sites along the border. During their operations, they discovered and seized several out-of-use Syrian tanks, as confirmed by the Israel Defense Forces.
Furthermore, Israeli troops identified a Syrian observation post in the Mount Hermon region within the buffer zone. Upon investigation, they uncovered a cache of weapons that included missiles, explosives, and various other equipment. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has directed the military to take control of the buffer zone and adjacent positions, citing the need to protect Israeli citizens from potential threats.
Israel has emphasized that its actions are defensive in nature, aimed at eliminating risks to its population in the region. The Israeli military has also been actively targeting Syrian military assets, conducting strikes on air bases, ports, and weapons stockpiles across Syria. According to the latest statement released by the Israel Defense Forces, approximately 480 strikes have been carried out as of Tuesday.
