Israeli warships destroyed Syrian fleet, defense minister Katz confirms
Israeli naval missile ships destroyed the Syrian military fleet in an operation last night as part of a broad campaign to eliminate strategic threats to the country, Defense Minister Israel Katz says during his visit to a Navy base in Haifa.
In a statement, he says Israeli forces are establishing themselves in the buffer zone between Syria and the Golan Heights and says he has ordered a “sterile defensive zone” to be created in southern Syria, without a permanent Israeli presence, to prevent any terrorist threat to Israel.
