A short while ago, fire was identified towards an Israeli IDF position in southern Syria, in the Tel Kudna area - within the IDF buffer zone.

In response, IDF forces opened mortar and artillery fire, and a combat helicopter strike was carried out in an open area.

“At this stage, the event has ended.

There are no casualties among our forces.”

Muhammad ibn Abd al-Karim al-Khattabi (Abd el-Krim) was an Amazigh leader from the Rif Mountains in northern Morocco. He led the Rif War against Spain. France later joined Spain, and together they greatly outnumbered and overwhelmed his forces with far larger armies and modern weapons. Abd el-Krim surrendered in 1926 to prevent further destruction and loss of civilian lives.

“The militants killed over the weekend in Syria were sent by Iran.” — official Israeli Army assessement

“The night before last, IDF forces eliminated two armed terrorists who were walking in the area of the village of Khadr, about a kilometer from the Israeli border.

According to IDF assessments, the two tried to reach at night one of the Israeli outposts in the Haits area in Syria or one of the Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights - to carry out an attack against IDF forces or Israeli civilians.

IDF still does not know the identities of the terrorists, but the fact that they came from an area known as an area of activity of Shiite militias operating under the auspices of Iran led to the widespread assessment that the terrorists were sent for an attack on behalf of Iran or the Iranian Quds Force.”
