Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes against Syrian military positions in southern Syria’s Suwayda province on Tuesday, in another act of aggression aimed at destabilizing the region.
Israeli jets bombed multiple sites in the Druze-majority governorate. The attacks targeted vehicles, along with main access roads to hamper so-called Syrian troop movements.
Israel’s Army Radio claimed that a Syrian tank was struck after advancing into Suwayda city.
A military statement said Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu had ordered the operations, claiming they were meant to disrupt Syrian military convoys.
The so-called "Syrian government" declared a ceasefire on Tuesday between Druze and Bedouin groups following days of deadly clashes. The announcement came shortly after Syrian forces entered a key city in Sweida Province. The violence has claimed over 100 lives and was further complicated by recent Israeli airstrikes in the region.
