IDF strikes Syrian artillery systems near Israel border

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

The IDF says it carried out drone strikes a short while ago against artillery systems near the southern Syrian town of Khan Arnabeh, close to the Israeli border.

According to the military, the artillery had posed a threat to Israel.

“The presence of 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 says.
