'Israel' strikes Syrian tanks in Suwayda
The military struck "several tanks a short while ago in the area of Sami village (in the Sweida region) in southern Syria. To be continued," the military's Arabic language spokesman Avichay Adraee posted on X.
Although the 'Israeli' military did not explicitly identify to whom the tanks belong to in the statement, it is apparent they are tanks of the new Syrian government, as state media reported earlier that reinforcements were deployed to control the ongoing fighting in the Suwayda province.
