The Israeli army stated on Tuesday that it had launched airstrikes "last night" on military sites in southern Syria.

In a statement, the army explained that the airstrikes targeted "radar systems and reconnaissance tools used for gathering aerial intelligence, as well as headquarters and military facilities containing weapons and equipment belonging to the Syrian regime.

The statement added that the presence of such systems in southern Syria poses "a threat to Israel and the operations of the Israeli army," considering the strikes as a measure to "eliminate future threats.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Syrian state news agency (SANA) reported that the Israeli army had carried out airstrikes targeting areas around the towns of Jabab and Izraa, north of Daraa, marking the latest military escalation in the region.

The strikes hit a military base in the town of Jabab with six airstrikes, while another base in Izraa was struck at least eight times. SANA reported no immediate information regarding casualties.

The Israeli army also stated on Saturday that its forces conducted "sweeping operations" in the demilitarized zone in southern Syria over the past week, confiscating and destroying numerous weapons.
