Military leader in Northern Command assertively states their active and decisive operations in As-Suwayda region
In a recent development, the Commander of the Northern Command in Israel, MG Ori Gordin, announced that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are operating decisively in the As-Suwayda area in southern Syria [1][2][3]. The IDF has been conducting strikes on Syrian regime targets in the region, intensifying the pressure and pace of these strikes.
This news comes after reports of strikes in Damascus, indicating a broadening of the IDF's military operations in southern Syria. Gordin further stated that the IDF intends to continue striking throughout the region.
However, the Commander also acknowledged that riots by the local Druze population near the border are diverting efforts from the ongoing operations. This unrest, while not directly part of the military operations, is causing complications in managing the situation.
The situational assessment, which is being held in Majdal Shams, is attended by key figures including MG Gordin, the Deputy Chief of the General Staff, MG Tamir Yadai, the Northern District Police Commander, Commissioner Meir Eliyahu, the Commander of the 210th Division, BG Yair Peli, and heads of local councils from the Galilee and the Golan regions [1].
The IDF's actions in southern Syria reflect a heightened military presence and a commitment to maintaining security in the region. As the situation continues to evolve, updates will be provided to keep the public informed.
