Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Katz has confirmed that Israeli naval missile ships successfully destroyed the Syrian military fleet in a decisive operation.
This action is part of Israel's broader strategy to eliminate strategic threats to its national security.
Katz emphasized that Israeli forces are securing a presence in the buffer zone between Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, establishing what he referred to as a "sterile defensive zone" in southern Syria.
This zone is intended to prevent terrorist threats without the need for a permanent military presence.
According to Times of Israel, Katz also issued a stern warning to Syria's rebel factions, stating that those who follow in the footsteps of the ousted dictator Bashar al-Assad will meet a similar fate.
This statement highlights Israel's ongoing efforts to target both the remnants of Assad's military infrastructure and any new threats arising from Syria's instability.
With the Syrian military in disarray following Assad's ouster, Israel is intensifying its operations to prevent the spread of weapons to extremist groups in the region.
The regional dynamics remain fragile, as Israel continues to closely monitor developments and focuses on securing its borders against potential threats.
The Israeli military remains committed to neutralizing any risks posed by Syria's deteriorating situation and the growing instability in the region.
