The Israeli Navy eliminated the Syrian Navy during an operation carried out with the help of missile strikes. About this stated Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz during a visit to the Navy base in Haifa.
According to the minister, Israeli forces are increasing their presence in the buffer zone between Syria and the Golan Heights. He also called for the creation of a “sterile defense zone” in southern Syria, where there will be no permanent presence of Israeli troops, but which will help prevent potential threats.
Previously, Al Jazeera TV channel published images showing sunken Syrian warships in the port of Latakia after the attack. In recent days, the Israeli army has carried out about 250 airstrikes on military targets in Syria.
In addition, Israeli ground forces crossed the demilitarized zone on the Syrian border for the first time since the October War of 1973, openly entering Syrian territory.
