The military is reportedly considering a broader operation in southern Syria if it determines that Syrian government forces were involved in firing on soldiers during a recent arrest mission in Beit Jinn. Reports suggest that if forces loyal to President Ahmed al-Sharaa participated in the attack, airstrikes would be launched against specific targets, with a reduction in ground arrest operations. Intelligence indicates that some individuals planning attacks on soldiers and the Druze community are linked to Sharaa's intelligence services. The recent incident saw troops come under fire after detaining two members of a militant group, leading to an exchange of gunfire and air support from helicopters, drones, and fighter jets.
