IDF strikes Syrian position for second time in 2 days

An IDF tank again strikes a Syrian position operating in what is supposed to be a demilitarized zone along the border, the army says.

“The Syrian Armed Forces violated the 1974 cease fire agreement by conducting construction work in order to strengthen a military post in the northern part of the demilitarized zone between Syria and Israel,” the army says in a statement.

“In response, the IDF fired a warning shot towards the area using a tank.”

It is the second such attack by the IDF in two days.
