Israel declares that it will establish a "sterile" area in southern Syria. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Following the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad, Israeli forces seized territory and launched a barrage of airstrikes on Syria, prompting the country to seek to create a "sterile defense zone" in southern Syria, according to Israel's defense minister.
In recent days, Israeli forces have occupied an abandoned Syrian military post and advanced into the demilitarized area inside Syria, including the Syrian side of the strategically important Mount Hermon that overlooks Damascus.
Israel Katz, the Israeli defense minister, said on Tuesday that he gave the order for Israel's troops to establish a "sterile defense zone" in southern Syria, which would be upheld without an Israeli presence.
The zone would "prevent the establishment and organization of terror in Syria," according to Katz, who did not provide further details.
He also attested to the military's overnight strikes on a number of Syrian naval ships.
The [Israeli military] has been attacking and destroying strategic capabilities that pose a threat to the State of Israel in Syria in recent days. While visiting a naval base in the northern city of Haifa, Katz stated, "The navy operated last night to destroy the Syrian fleet with great success."
Following the overthrow of al-Assad by opposition forces, Israel has launched hundreds of airstrikes against strategic military locations in Syria in recent days, creating a security void.
Strikes have targeted military installations, research facilities, and the electronic warfare administration in and around the capital, Damascus.
Israel has "destroyed the most important military sites in Syria, including Syrian airports and their warehouses, aircraft squadrons, radars, military signal stations, and many weapons and ammunition depots in various locations in most Syrian governorates," according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a war monitor.
According to SOHR, during the past 48 hours, it has carried out "about 250 air strikes on Syrian territory" in an effort to destroy the military capabilities of the former regime.
