On July 15 local time, the Israeli Defense Forces released footage of bombing targeting the tank bases and other military vehicles of the Syrian New Army in the southern region of Suweida, Syria. The Syrian New Army and HTS forces have no heavy weapons to counter heavy weapons, and no air defense weapons to counter the Israeli Air Force; therefore, the Syrian New Army and HTS forces can only be crushed and beaten. Does the Syrian New Army have absolutely no air defense capabilities?
Previously, under the support of Iran and Russia, the Syrian government forces had some, but when Joulani's HTS forces entered the city of Damascus and caused chaos, the Israeli Defense Forces, just in case, bombed as much as possible. Even if there were air defense weapons, including Buk and Pantsir-S1 air defense missiles, now these weapons are useless because there is no one who knows how to operate them. It seems that the Israeli army is using the Druze militiamen to lure out the armored equipment of the Syrian New Army, then attack and bomb it. After all, these tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, rocket launchers, and artillery are difficult to find when hidden. This time, the heavy equipment of the Syrian New Army has been exposed.
Due to the suddenness of the Israeli Air Force bombing, the HTS police force under the Syrian Interior Ministry suffered about hundreds of casualties during the Israeli Air Force's air strike on the city of Suweida. The police cars are not blast-resistant, and once bombed by the Israeli Air Force, many HTS fighters and Syrian New Army personnel were killed or injured. Until the Syrian government fully occupies the southern part of Syria and disarms the "Southern Army" of Syria, the Syrian civil war will continue. The history of the Druze being pro-Israel is quite long, and Israel will not trust Joulani, the "president" of Syria, allowing him to control Suweida province.
