Following an assessment, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has instructed the military to target Syrian government sites “if the violence against the Druze does not stop.”

Earlier today, the IDF says it carried out a drone strike on the outskirts of Damascus against operatives who attacked Druze civilians.

“The IDF is monitoring developments in Syria. The forces are deployed with readiness for defense and various scenarios,” the military adds.
