IDF soldiers entered four locations simultaneously and located numerous weapons that the suspects had trafficked, based on prior intelligence surveillance and in-depth field investigations.

Additionally, in July, the IDF conducted extensive airstrikes on Syrian regime forces in and around the vicinity of Sweida in southern Syria on behalf of the Druze living in the area. As of July 16, the IDF had undertaken 160 aerial attacks on Syrian regime forces, The Jerusalem Post learned. In addition, the IDF has attacked, and possibly destroyed, Syria's Defense Ministry, and also attacked part of the Presidential Palace in Damascus. Dozens or more Syrian regime forces are said to have been killed in IDF attacks. IDF sources said that the military is ready for a multi-day campaign to convince Syrian regime forces to withdraw from Sweida and leave the Syrian Druze their autonomy.
