Israeli warplanes have carried out multiple airstrikes on military targets across southern Syria, attacking areas outside the capital Damascus and the southern province of Dera’a after a call by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu for “demilitarization” of the region, Press TV reported.
Israeli minister for military affairs Israel Katz confirmed the assaults, which hit military installations in the town of Kiswah, south of Damascus, as well as some sites in Dera’a.
The developments came after Benjamin Netanyahu pressed for “complete demilitarization” of southern Syria, including the provinces of Quneitra, Dara’a, and Sweida.
In 2011, the Israeli regime began backing up Takfiri terrorist groups and intensifying its deadly aggression against Syria as a means of trying to oust the government of Bashar al-Assad, which had consistently proven an opponent of Tel Aviv’s regional aggression.
Late last year, Israel ramped up its attacks across the Syrian territory even further, claiming that it sought to prevent violence inside Syria from spilling over into the occupied territories.
Israeli forces even entered the United Nations-demarcated buffer zone between Syria and the occupied Palestinian territories in the country’s Tel Aviv-occupied Golan Heights in a move that was condemned by the UN.
