Israeli forces from the Etzioni Brigade, under the command of Division 210, eliminated several armed terrorists in the Israeli security zone in southern Syria on Saturday, the military said Sunday. The IDF said it will continue operating in the zone to remove any threat to Israeli citizens and its forces.
The IDF announced Sunday morning, June 28, that Etzioni Brigade troops under the 210th Division eliminated several armed terrorists in the Israeli security zone in southern Syria on Saturday. The military's brief statement did not specify the exact number of militants, their identities, or the precise location within the zone.
This operation is the latest in a rapid sequence of reported incidents in the same sector overnight. As The Zioneer reported Sunday at 07:31 Jerusalem, earlier on Saturday evening, around 21:00, IDF forces identified and killed two armed terrorists near the village of Khader, about one kilometer from the border fence. The bodies of those two suspects were taken into IDF custody for identity checks, with the military stating they were believed to be members of a local terror group. That report itself followed an initial IDF confirmation, also at 07:31 Jerusalem, that its forces had eliminated several armed terrorists in the southern Syria security zone on Saturday.
The security zone in southern Syria was established to prevent militant infiltration and attacks on Israeli territory. Israeli forces have periodically engaged militants there since its creation, as reported in other contexts by The Zioneer.
It remains unclear whether the latest elimination described Sunday is a separate incident from the Khader operation or a further detail of the same engagement. The IDF has not clarified the number of militants involved in the new statement or whether the Etzioni Brigade's Saturday action is distinct from the earlier one near Khader.
