Early on July 4, Israeli special forces landed from helicopters and conducted a lengthy raid near Yafour, a resort town located some ten kilometers to the west of the Syrian capital, Damascus, according to Syrian media.
The special forces, who were transported by at least three helicopters, landed at a base of the Republican Guards, an elite formation of the former Syrian Arab Army, in the outskirts of Yafour. They reportedly operated there for around five hours before withdrawing.
At around the same time, the presence of Israeli special forces was reported at the town of Rakhlah, which is located ten kilometers to the west of Yafour, right on the border with Lebanon. Troops were also sighted in Jandal Castle, ten kilometers to the south of Rakhlah.
All in all, the available information indicates that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a large-scale raid, deploying special forces from air and land in the triangle between Yafour, Rakhlah and Jandal Castle.
Yafour was the main residence of many of the Assad regime’s top officials, including Maher, the brother of former president Bashar. Several key bases, which used to host air defenses among other military equipment, are also located in the area where the IDF was operating.
The large-scale raid came following reports of major advance in talks between Israel and Syria’s Islamists Interim Government, with a peace deal being within reach. Interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa is said to have agreed to give the country’s claim to the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Since the fall of the Assad regime last December, the IDF has conducted hundreds of operations in Syria, destroying nearly all of the country’s military capabilities in strikes and raids.
Despite the lack of any reaction from Syria and the major concessions its new Islamists rulers are making, Israel does not appear willing to scale down its military operations in the country even a bit as a gesture of good will.

the main of the israeli special forces is putler, so he betrayed syria and iran.
armenia and serbia have experience with russian betrayal, which is why they want to join nato.
you talk about the christian serbian people, bombed by nato in 1999 wich lead the muslim minority to steal a part of serbia now called kosovo ? seems legit….
nato is not going to save them. what they need is to do what georgia did
serbia doesn’t want to join nazo you maggot, why would they join a gang that bombed them for 78 days moron?
jewish women anna sedokova and irina bolgar will eat all the money that bashar al-assad has.
al jewlani made a deal with the devil
it seems like syria is the opposite of yemen. yemeni houthis rarely take bribes and fight, while the syrians were famous for taking bribes and shirking their military duty.
the syrians probably took the easy way out, and they’ll pay for it.
the lion of judah is always hunting…
did that prick julani give them a personal escort? the sooner there is an uprising to get that piece of zionist excrement out the better.
lol j3walwaini is a traitor to syria and has been hand picked by 1srahell to lead the fake t3rrorist movement. under assad this would never happen were juice can just bomb or operate inside syria like their own backyard.
