Defense Minister Katz Calls Attack on Syrian Tanks ‘Clear Warning’ to Regime

Jerusalem, 14 July, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Speaking about the Israeli military’s attack on tanks on the move in southern Syria on Monday, Defense Minister Israel Katz declared, “The IDF attacked targets in Syria as a message and a clear warning to the Syrian regime – we will not allow harm to the Druze in Syria.”

Earlier today (Monday), several tanks were identified in the area between Al-Sijin and Sama, moving toward As-Suwayda in southern Syria. The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) attacked the tanks in order to prevent their arrival in the area.

“The presence of these assets in southern Syria could pose a threat to the State of Israel,” said the IDF adding that it, “will not allow the existence of a military threat in southern Syria and will act against it.”
