Any Syrian army forces that move south of Damascus will risk “facing an Israeli response by fire,” an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
“We are not going to allow jihadists near our border, we are not going to allow threats to the Druze in Syria, the brothers of brothers, and we will not allow another October 7 to happen in the Golan,” says the official.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Syria’s new leadership against moving troops into southern Syria.
