"Two days ago, the new regime in Syria made an attempt to take control of positions and outposts in southern Syria. In response, our Air Force carried out a measured strike to maintain security and prevent any further escalation along the border.
Israel continues to maintain strong relations with the Druze community in Syria, and we are committed to supporting them in any way we can. As part of our efforts, we are considering facilitating daily travel for residents of neighbouring areas to the Golan Heights for work, and we are preparing to offer assistance through various organisations and other means.
Additionally, we have received approval from the United States to remain in Lebanon's buffer zone for an extended period. This decision allows Israel to maintain its position in the region, ensuring stability and security for all parties involved."
