The IDF says it carried out airstrikes against several weapon sites belonging to the former Syrian regime in southern Syria a short while ago.
The military releases footage of the strikes, which took place some 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) from Israel’s border.
The strikes had targeted Syrian tanks used to store weapons, according to military sources. In the footage, armored vehicles can be seen targeted in the strikes.
Israel has vowed to destroy weapons belonging to the former Assad regime to prevent them from falling into the hands of hostile forces.
