Israel army says struck military targets in southern Syria

The Israeli Army said it carried out air strikes targeting military sites containing weapons in southern Syria on Tuesday (February 25, 2025), just days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for demilitarising the area.

At least two people were killed by a strike on one of the sites, the headquarters of a military unit southwest of Damascus, a war monitor said.

It was unable to confirm if the victims were civilian or military.

“Over the past few hours, the IDF [Israeli military] struck military targets in southern Syria including command centres and multiple sites containing weapons,” the Army said in a statement, without specifying the exact locations of the strikes.
