Israeli troops conducted several overnight raids in southern Syria, resulting in the seizure of a cache of weapons that included Russian-made anti-tank missiles, rifles, and explosive devices. The searches were carried out by the Golan Regional Brigade across multiple sites, with additional suspects detained and questioned by military intelligence personnel. Since the fall of the Syrian regime in December 2024, Israeli forces have maintained a presence at several posts within a buffer zone near the border, operating up to fifteen kilometers inside Syrian territory. The military states these operations are part of ongoing efforts to prevent weapons from reaching groups considered a threat to Israel.
