The Israel Defense Forces reportedly drops flyers in the Quneitra area of southern Syria, near the border with the Golan Heights, warning the Syrian army against collaborating with the Hezbollah terror group.
The flyers are dropped following reports by opposition media of an alleged Israeli airstrike in the as-Suwayda area last night.
There is no comment on the alleged strike by Syria’s state media or other regime-affilated outlets.
Israel frequently warns the Syrian army against working with the Iran-backed terror group in the area on Israel’s border.
The flyers matched the style of similar leaflets that have been dropped in Syria in the past and included the silhouette of an eagle — the symbol of the IDF’s 210th “Bashan” Division, which is tasked with defending Israel’s frontier with Syria and the Golan Heights. The IDF refused to comment on the matter.
