IDF drops leaflets in Syria warning against cooperation with Iran and Hezbollah

The Israel Defense Forces drops leaflets in the Syrian Golan Heights warning the country’s military to halt its cooperation with Iran and the Hezbollah terror group, Syrian media reports.

The move comes after Israel reportedly conducted a number of airstrikes in southern Syria, including in the Syrian Golan. Photos of the leaflets were posted to social media this morning.

“We will not allow anyone to upset the stability here,” the fliers read.

The military adds that it will “take action against Hezbollah and Iranian operatives at any time, as needed.”

The leaflets also refer to a recent attempt to set off explosive charges against IDF soldiers near the Syrian border, a thwarted attack that Israel says was directed by Iran.

“Hezbollah and Iran, as we have seen in recent years, are using [Syrian] military sites, military personnel and Syrian civilians unwittingly and carrying out their terrorist missions against the State of Israel,” the IDF writes.
