We targeted tanks, rocket launchers, weapons, and trucks loaded with heavy machine guns on their way to the Sweida area in Syria.

➡️The warnings for Damascus are over - now painful blows will come.

➡️The IDF will continue to operate forcefully in Sweida to destroy the forces that attacked the Druze until their full withdrawal.

➡️Our Druze brothers in Israel, you can rely on the Israel Defense Forces to protect your brothers in Syria. Prime Minister Netanyahu and I, as Defense Minister, have made a commitment - and we will stand by it.

➡️My brothers, the Druze citizens of Israel, the situation in Sweida, the situation in southwestern Syria, is very serious.

➡️The IDF is operating, the Air Force is operating, other forces are operating. We are acting to save our Druze brothers and to eliminate the regime's gangs.

➡️And now I have one request of you, you are citizens of Israel. Do not cross the border.
You are endangering your lives; you can be murdered, you can be kidnapped, and you are harming the efforts of the IDF. Therefore, I ask you - return to your homes, let the IDF act.
