An IDF spokesman in Arabic announced yesterday evening that military sites belonging to the Syrian army in the Daraa region in the south of the country and posing a threat to Israel were attacked.

Avichai Adraei, the spokesman, said that the warplanes attacked “radars and electronic intelligence collection equipment used to create an aerial intelligence picture, in addition to military headquarters and sites containing combat equipment and military vehicles.”

Israeli aircraft also launched four strikes on Brigade 90 positions in the Quneitra countryside, destroying a tank battalion and several weapons.

During the Assad regime, the 90th Brigade of the Syrian army held the border with Israel in the area extending from Quneitra in the south to the junction of the Israel-Lebanon-Syria borders, and was mainly engaged in fulfilling intelligence-gathering missions not only for the Syrian General Staff, but also for Hezbollah and Iran, which also collected intelligence from within Israeli territory while operating advanced equipment for collecting various electronic intelligence.

In the past, Israel has often attacked intelligence-gathering positions manned by Hezbollah members wearing Syrian army uniforms in an attempt to disguise their presence on the Golan border.

The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that Israeli warplanes attacked the following targets:

 - Division 10 headquarters in Sassa in the Damascus countryside.

 - Division 5 headquarters in Izra, with an emphasis on ammunition and weapons depots of the 12th Brigade subordinate to the 5th Division.

 - Artillery Regiment 175 in the Izra area. (The regiment's guns can reach the Golan border, so they were destroyed)

 - Targets of the 9th Armored Division in the Tzanamin area in the Daraa countryside.

 - Military weapons systems in Tel Al-Mana. Syrian news sites previously reported that there were medium-range surface-to-surface missile batteries there capable of hitting targets deep inside Israeli territory. There were also radar stations on the site.

 - Sites at Division 1 headquarters in the Kiswa area near the Israeli border.

 - Division 7 headquarters in the Yarmouk Estuary area.

 - Brigade 68.

 - Regiment 89 in Jabab.

Syrian sources claim that Israeli warplanes carried out 41 strikes against Syrian army targets in all regions, including the Homs region, last night, destroying at least one tank battalion, radar stations, surface-to-surface missiles, and electronic intelligence collection facilities.

According to the same sources, Israel conducted intensive intelligence gathering in preparation for this extensive operation, and operated a large number of drones that collected up-to-date intelligence that was later used to destroy targets that Israel defined as “security threats,” not only to Israel but also posed a threat to the Druze community of about 750,000 people living in southern Syria.

Since the fall of Assad’s regime, Israel has launched about 500 airstrikes on military sites in Syria. 

It has also attacked Syrian territory 22 times since the beginning of 2025, resulting in the killing of six people and the destruction of 22 targets, including weapons and ammunition depots, headquarters, centers, and heavy vehicles such as those used by the new Syrian Army to carry out the massacre of members of the Alawite community in the Latakia province in northwestern Syria.
