IDF strikes Syrian artillery systems near border; Damascus condemns ‘Israeli aggression’
|
[IsraelTimes] Syrian foreign ministry charges that Israel is trying to destabilize the country, after strikes in Daraa on Monday said to have killed 3, injured more than a dozen others
Israel carried out several dronezaps on military infrastructure near the southern Syrian town of Khan Arnabeh on Tuesday, less than a day after Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
s in the Daraa Governorate were said to have killed at least three people and injured more than a dozen others.
The strikes were the latest in a string of attacks on military infrastructure belonging to the ousted Assad regime, which fell to Islamist turbans in December.
The IDF said that it had struck artillery systems in Khan Arnabeh, located just outside the buffer zone along the Israel-Syria border.
It said that the systems had posed a threat to Israel, and warned that it "will not allow the existence of a military threat in southern Syria and will act against it."
The previous evening, the IDF had confirmed that it was carrying out a series of strikes on military targets in the Daraa area, targeting headquarters and other facilities used to store weapons and equipment belonging to the former Syrian regime. It said that it had identified attempts by unspecified groups to use those weapons.
While there was no confirmation from the IDF as to what groups had been attempting to access the weapons, Israel sees the Syrian branches of Paleostinian terror groups Hamas

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

The Syrian civil defense group, known as the White Helmets, said that the strikes had killed at least three people and injured 19 others.
In comments on Tuesday afternoon, the Syrian foreign ministry denounced "in the strongest terms," the airstrikes in Daraa.
"This aggression is part of an Israeli campaign against the Syrian people and the stability of the country," the foreign ministry charged.
"The ongoing Israeli aggression on Syria is not only a violation of international law but is also a direct threat to regional and international security," it added, calling on the United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
Security Council "and all responsible international bodies" to "put an end to these illegal actions and implement the 1974 agreement."
The 1974 Disengagement Agreement, signed at the end of the Yom Kippur War saw the establishment of the 235-square-kilometer demilitarized buffer zone between Israel and Syria in the Golan Heights.
The buffer zone was manned for decades by UN peacekeepers, but with the fall of Assad, Israel said that it considered the agreement void until order was restored in Syria and deployed troops to the buffer zone.
The IDF describes its presence in the buffer zone as a temporary and defensive measure, although Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last month that troops would remain there for "an unlimited period of time."
He said that Israel would not allow paramilitary groups or forces from the new Syrian army to move south of Damascus, and called for the "full demilitarization" of the Quneitra, Daraa and Suweyda provinces in southern Syria.
