The IDF says it is currently carrying out airstrikes on military targets in southern Syria.

The sites include headquarters and other facilities used to store weapons and equipment belonging to the former Syrian regime, the military says, adding that it has identified attempts by unspecified groups to use those weapons.

“The presence of these [weapons] in southern Syria is a threat to the State of Israel. The IDF will not allow the existence of a military threat in southern Syria and will act against it,” the IDF adds.
