Hamas condemned Israeli airstrikes in Syria, calling it a violation of sovereignty. Israeli forces targeted military sites in southern Syria, as part of a strategy to demilitarize the region. The Israeli military confirmed the attacks on Daraa and Quneitra, aiming for increased control in those areas.
The Palestinian Hamas movement has issued a statement expressing strong condemnation of what it describes as “the criminal Israeli aggression on Syrian territory,” following an Israeli incursion into Daraa and Quneitra. Hamas regards this act as a blatant violation of Syrian sovereignty and a continuation of Israel’s aggressive policies against Arab nations.
On the same day, Israeli warplanes conducted multiple airstrikes on military targets in southern Syria, particularly around Damascus and Dera’a, in response to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call for “demilitarization” of the southern region. The attacks targeted key military installations in Kiswah and Dera’a, directing concerns regarding Israel’s increasing military activities in Syria.
Israeli military affairs minister, Israel Katz, confirmed that the airstrikes struck military sites in southern Syria, suggesting a broader objective by Israel to assert control over southern regions. Notably, Israeli reports have indicated that a plan is being executed for Israel to actively enter and manage the southern part of Syria, a move that directly follows Netanyahu’s push for complete demilitarization of the provinces of Quneitra, Dara’a, and Sweida.
Hamas’s condemnation highlights ongoing tensions in the region following Israeli military actions in southern Syria. The airstrikes and the Israeli government’s strategy reflect a significant escalation in their military positioning, aiming for increased control over these contested areas. This situation underscores the complexities of the Syrian conflict involving various regional and international players.
