The Israeli army announced an attack on a military base in southern Syria that it said posed a threat to Israel.
According to The Times of Israel on March 11, Israeli fighter jets carried out airstrikes on military facilities in Daraa province, southern Syria on March 10. This is the latest attack targeting infrastructure that was used under the regime of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had struck facilities in southern Syria believed to pose a threat to Israel, with the aim of “eliminating future threats.” Reuters cited two Syrian security sources as saying there were at least six air strikes on a base in the Syrian town of Jabab and eight on a former military base in the city of Izraa. Initial reports did not include casualties.

According to the Israeli military, its fighter jets hit radar systems and equipment used to create aerial intelligence images. Syria's SANA news agency confirmed the airstrikes on Jabab and Ezraa.
Israeli officials have repeatedly said they will demilitarize southern Syria, near the Israeli border, after the fall of Mr. al-Assad’s regime. Israel’s move comes amid bloody fighting in Syria between the forces of the interim government and those loyal to Mr. al-Assad. More than 1,000 people are believed to have died in the violence.

The Syrian government announced on March 10 that it had completed its “military campaign” against opposition fighters. The violence was concentrated in coastal provinces, home to the majority of Syria’s Alawite minority. Mr. al-Assad is an Alawite.
Israel has criticized Syria’s interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa for “acting against civilians.” Al-Sharaa dismissed Israel’s comments as “nonsense,” criticizing Israel for being embroiled in a conflict with Hamas for more than a year, with casualties estimated at tens of thousands.
