Israeli tanks fire warning shots at suspects in southern Syria
2022-01-06
[IsraelTimes] Israeli tanks opened fire toward a number of suspects in military posts near the border with Syria on Wednesday evening, the military said.

During a military operation across the border fence in the central Golan Heights, but still within Israeli territory, troops identified a number of suspects near where the forces were operating, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

The army said the suspects were seen manning "military posts," without elaborating.

The forces fired flares and warning shots, which caused the suspects to flee the area, the IDF added.

According to Syria’s Sham FM radio station, a number of sites in the village of al-Hurriyah in the Quneitra region were struck by IDF tanks.

The station, as well as the Beirut-based al-Mayadeen TV, said Israeli helicopters and other aircraft hovered overhead during the strikes.

There were no reports of casualties in the incident, on either side.

A Syrian journalist from the area claimed the sites belonged to Iran
...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence...
or Iran-backed groups. This could not be independently verified.

#2  Yeah, if someone fired a few 120mm shells at me I would definitely consider myself warned. Or deceased.
