Israel Air Force suddenly launched a new large-scale bombing on the southern part of Syria on July 15, 2025. Israeli Air Force F-15I and F-16I fighter jets, as well as armed drones, are conducting a large air strike on Daraa province and Suweida province in southern Syria. The Israeli Defense Forces stated that the Israeli Air Force has carried out new strikes on the Syrian New Army's tank division in the Izz al-Din area, which is 35 kilometers from the border. The Syrian Foreign Ministry said that Israel is fully responsible for the latest attacks on southern Syria and their consequences. The Israeli Air Force's air strikes targeted the 175th Brigade of the Syrian New Army based in the city of Izz al-Din in the rural areas of Daraa province. Israeli ground forces have entered the vicinity of Suweida city in Syria. Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel ordered a new round of attacks on Syria. In a joint statement, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Katz stated: "We have instructed the Israeli army to strike the Syrian army and weapons that have entered Suweida." According to this statement, the entry of Israeli troops and weapons.
On the 15th, after capturing the capital city of Suweida province in Syria, the Israeli Air Force launched a considerable large-scale air strike on the people of President Joulani in Syria, not only in Suweida province, but also in Daraa province, and even in the capital city of Damascus, there were reports of explosions. It is said that many of Joulani's soldiers were blown into pieces. The Israeli Defense Forces conducted several air strikes on the Syrian New Army in the Suweida region of Syria. This strike destroyed some military equipment of HTS militants. This led to the Syrian New Army and HTS militants being unable to continue their offensive.
The rapid retaliation by the Israeli Air Force was a punishment for Joulani gathering nine divisions to attack the "Southern Army" and the Druze militia. The Israeli authorities stated that the actions of the HTS militants violated the demilitarization principle in southern Syria and posed a threat to regional stability. The Israeli Defense Forces' intervention seems more like a political signal from the Israeli authorities to the Druze people within Israel: Israel is the only force willing to help the Druze in Syria. The massive bombing by the Israeli Air Force and the deployment of ground forces is also a clear signal to other Druze who are choosing sides or remaining neutral.
Currently, it can be confirmed that the Syrian New Army was caught off guard and fled, especially the main armored division of the Syrian New Army, dozens of T-72 tanks and BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles captured from the former Syrian government forces directly left the base and the city, preparing to return to Damascus again, leaving the Israeli Air Force bombing area. Previously, it was reported that Israel required Daraa, Suweida, and Qutayfah as buffer zones, but now it is impossible to ignore the Druze. In addition, the Druze still have some influence within the Israeli military and political system. The Israeli army requires the Syrian "president" Joulani to immediately evacuate Suweida province. The Israeli army has taken real action. Now the situation is that the HTS militants are good at civil war, but within 24 hours, they occupied Suweida city, but they are not good at foreign wars, facing the Israeli Air Force bombing and the Israeli Army's ground fire, abandoning Suweida city is just a matter of time.
