“I warn Syrian leader Abu Mohamad al-Jollani. You will pay a heavy price if you allow enemy forces to enter Syria and endanger Israel’s security interests,” Katz said, Kurdistan 24 reported.
The warning comes amid growing tensions along the Israeli-Syrian border as it continues to target military infrastructure that Israel considers a threat.
Israeli forces confirmed Thursday that they responded to gunfire from “armed extremists” in southern Syria. Israeli forces said they launched attacks on the ground and in the air, eliminating multiple fighter jets in the area.
“The stockpile of weapons in southern Syria poses a direct threat to Israel,” a spokesperson for the Israeli War Ministry added that Israeli forces “will not allow the presence of hostile forces to Syria and will take action to eliminate the military threat.”
