Revealed directing Israeli army to establish weapons-free protection zone without terrorist threats in southern Syria, without continuous Israeli presence, aiming to prevent terrorist organizations' presence in Syria and create similar reality to previous Lebanon and Gaza situations.

Added forces targeted about 320 sites across Syria from Damascus to Tartus, including dozens of fighters, combat helicopters, radars, surface-to-air missile batteries, drones, and others.
